On Friday, July 10th, at approximately 3:50 PM, Wheeling firefighters and neighboring auto-aid companies were called to a confirmed fire at 15 Brougham Drive. The blaze was spotted from miles away, as thick smoke rose from a burning mobile home in the Whippletree Village community off McHenry Road. Police officers were on scene confirming the fire, and the situation quickly escalated.
The first arriving units found a mobile home fully engulfed in flames, with fire spreading to adjacent units on both sides. Initial reports suggested that two children might have been trapped inside, but these claims were later proven to be false. In response, the first engine company initiated a defensive firefighting strategy. Both Wheeling engines deployed lines, and all available auto-aid and mutual aid units provided support, including manpower and equipment.
Firefighters worked aggressively to contain the blaze, attacking fires in three mobile homes. High ambient temperatures made conditions extremely challenging. The original structure was completely destroyed, and the surrounding units sustained severe damage, rendering them uninhabitable.
Wheeling firefighters received critical assistance from departments across the region, including 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 of the fire and ensured the safety of nearby residents.
Several photos captured the intensity of the situation, showing heavy smoke rising from the burning trailer and firefighters using large hand lines to combat the flames. These images provide a powerful visual representation of the scale and severity of the incident.
