On Wednesday afternoon, Mundelein firefighters responded to a commercial building fire at 839 S. Lake Street. Upon arrival, the first units observed light smoke coming from the roof of a strip mall, with a small fire reported in a restaurant located within the complex. The building was quickly evacuated as the fire rapidly grew in intensity. Due to the escalating situation, the alarm was upgraded to a Box Alarm, bringing in additional firefighting resources.
The flames spread through the roof and the front overhang, causing part of the signage to collapse. Despite the damage, the fire was contained to a single unit, with significant damage occurring to the adjacent restaurant. A ladder pipe was deployed briefly before crews pulled back from the structure, ensuring the safety of all personnel involved.
Several fire departments from surrounding areas assisted in the response, including units from Countryside, Deerfield-Bannockburn, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, Libertyville, Wauconda, Lake Forest, Buffalo Grove, Long Grove, Arlington Heights, and Lake Zurich. This coordinated effort helped manage the incident effectively.
