Posted July 28, 2025 8:12 pm
One person suffered minor injuries in an apartment fire late Sunday in Mount Prospect that left all 12 units in the building uninhabitable.
The fire at the three-story building on the 1700 block of Forest Cove Drive was reported just after 11:30 p.m.
The fire was contained to the unit of origin and took about 15 minutes to bring under control, fire officials said.
One resident was taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.
The fire is under investigation but appears to be accidental. Damage estimates were $150,000, fire officials said.
“This fire could have been significantly worse if not for the quick action of tenants evacuating and the prompt notification to 911,” Deputy Chief Tom Wang said.
