Box Alarm fire in Mundelein, 9-2-20

Mundelein firefighters were dispatched for a commercial building fire on Wednesday afternoon at 839 S. Lake Street. The first arriving units had light smoke from the roof of a strip mall with a hze in the restaurant. The building was evacuated and the fire intensified. The alarm was upgraded to a Box Alarm for additional resources. Fire burned through the roof and the front overhang with signage eventually collapsed. The fire was held to one unit with damage to the restaurant next door. A ladder pipe was used for a short time after companies withdrew from the building.

Companies on the scene were from Mundelein, Countryside, Deerfield-Bannockburn, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, Libertyville, Wauconda, Lake Forest, Buffalo Grove, Long Grove, Arlington Heights, and Lake Zurich.
