Townhouse fire in Wheeling, 5-6-25

May 6

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | No Comments

Wheeling firefighters and police officers were sent to 1145 Pleasant Run Drive Tuesday afternoon for smoke seen on the 2nd floor of a multi-unit townhouse. Police officers were evacuating residents and smoke was visible when the first fire unit arrived. A line was stretched and companies reported fire in two adjacent units. The alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 bringing additional resources to the scene.

Three lines were used and there was extension into a third unit.

Wheeling was assisted by units from the Prospect Heights Fire District, Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Glenview, and Northbrook fire departments, plus the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods and North Maine fire districts.
