On Friday, July 10th, at just before 4 p.m., Wheeling firefighters and neighboring auto-aid companies responded to a confirmed fire at 15 Brougham Drive. The blaze was clearly visible from miles away in the Whippletree Village mobile home community off McHenry Road. Police were on the scene confirming the fire, and the intense smoke plume made it clear that a serious incident had occurred.
First-arriving units found a mobile home completely engulfed in flames, with fire spreading rapidly to adjacent units on both sides. Initial reports mistakenly suggested that two children might have been trapped inside, but this was later proven to be false. In response, the first engine company on the scene initiated a defensive firefighting strategy. Both Wheeling engines quickly deployed their lines, and all auto-aid and mutual aid companies provided valuable manpower support.
Firefighters worked aggressively to contain the fire, attacking three mobile homes and dealing with extremely high ambient temperatures. The original structure was completely destroyed, and the nearby units sustained extensive damage, rendering them uninhabitable.
The effort was supported by firefighters from Prospect Heights, Buffalo Grove, Northbrook, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, Long Grove, Schaumburg, Palatine, Palatine Rural, Rolling Meadows, Lake Forest, and Lake Zurich. Their combined efforts helped prevent further spread and protect surrounding properties.
Photos from the scene show thick smoke rising from the burning trailer, as well as firefighters using large hand lines to battle the flames. These images capture the intensity of the situation and the dedication of the emergency responders who worked tirelessly to bring the fire under control.
