Famed Eatery Fire Catastrophe
June 9, 2010: Firefighters were unable to save the Riviera Restaurant from the fire flames. The legendary historic restaurant, established sixty miles away from Chicago, was utterly wrecked.
The firefight was hampered due to a lack of water. The restaurant was positioned away from any hydrants and water needed to be shipped in by tanker.
Other crews from a number of communities in the area were also called to help.
Although there were no injuries or deaths, the fire is being described as tragic. Investigations are on-going.
