Box Alarm fire in Mundelein, 9-2-20

Mundelein firefighters responded to a commercial building fire on Wednesday afternoon at 839 S. Lake Street. Upon arrival, the first units found light smoke coming from the roof of a strip mall, with a small fire reported in a restaurant located within the building. The structure was quickly evacuated as the fire rapidly intensified. Due to the growing situation, the alarm was upgraded to a Box Alarm to bring in additional fire companies for support.

The fire spread through the roof and front overhang, causing the signage to collapse. Despite the intensity, the blaze was contained to a single unit, though significant damage was reported in the adjacent restaurant. A ladder pipe was used briefly by crews before they pulled out of the building. Firefighters worked diligently to prevent the fire from spreading further, and the area remains under investigation.

Multiple fire departments were on the scene, including units from Mundelein, Countryside, Deerfield-Bannockburn, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, Libertyville, Wauconda, Lake Forest, Buffalo Grove, Long Grove, Arlington Heights, and Lake Zurich. Local residents were advised to avoid the area while crews continued their efforts to secure the site and determine the cause of the fire.
