ROCHELLE –Aldi was forced to evacuate the building and remain closed for multiple hours because of a fire scare on Wednesday afternoon.
Reports of smoke coming from both the men’s and women’s restroom in Aldi forced the fire department to be called and the building to be evacuated. Along with the smoke, there was a strong chemical smell that was permeating throughout the building and carrying out to the parking lot.
After an investigation, it was determined that the cause of the smoke and the smell was the sewer lining work being done in the area by city crews.
