4-Year-Old Dies After House Fire in Mundelein, Illinois
Firefighters from three departments battled a two-alarm blaze that destroyed a home; the 4-year-old victim was found in the basement and pronounced dead, officials said.
- On Monday, March 23, 2026, a 4-year-old child died after being pulled from a house fire at 210 Dalton Ave., near Brice Avenue in Mundelein, CBS Chicago reported.
- Responders encountered a fully engulfed structure upon arrival, and firefighters worked to knock out heavy flames while searching for an unaccounted child, the Mundelein Fire Department said.
- Lockwood said 'There were people in the house that tried to make access into the structure but could not due to the amount of fire and smoke,' and crews later found the child in the basement during search operations.
- The village said it was deeply saddened and extended condolences on Facebook, and one other resident was taken to a local hospital with injuries not related to the fire.
- Officials said the home has been deemed uninhabitable as investigators continue their work, with photos showing severe damage and arson not suspected, Lockwood said.
