At around 9 am on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, the Carus Chemical plant in La Salle, Illinois, was involved in a major fire. The plant, which is located about 90 miles (140 km) from Chicago and 80 miles (130 km) from the Quad Cities and was used for manufacturing water treatment products, caught fire. Residents in communities near the plant reported hearing sounds of explosions before and during the fire. Employees were evacuated from the premises, and a shelter in place order was announced for the wards of the city downwind of the fire. The shelter in place was originally going to be lifted at 3 pm, but was not officially lifted until 5 pm. A "green substance" was reported to be on surfaces around the site following the incident, and residents were warned not to touch it. It was later revealed to be an oxidizer from the chemical plant. A statement was released by the La Salle Police Department saying that the chemicals could be "deactivated" with a mix of water, hydrogen peroxide, and vinegar. The substance was later identified as potassium permanganate. The fire chief of La Salle, Jerry Janick, had a media meeting around noon on the 11th where he stated he could not confirm reports of explosions, but did reiterate that all employees were safe from the blaze. On the same day at 1:00 pm, the company that operated the plant, Carus LLC (Carus Group Inc.), officially announced the fire was "under control", and confirmed that all employees had escaped safely and been accounted for.
