Mundelein firefighters were called to a house explosion this afternoon at 918 Killarney Pass Drive, just a short distance from Mundelein Fire Station 1. When they arrived, they found a fully involved fire in a split-level home. The scene was chaotic, with thick smoke and flames visible from several blocks away.
According to the *Daily Herald*, one person has been confirmed dead following the explosion and subsequent fire that occurred on the north side of the village just before noon on Friday. Lake County Deputy Coroner Orlando Portillo stated that in addition to the fatality, another individual who was inside the house was transported to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville for treatment.
Local residents reported hearing a loud explosion around the time of the incident, with some describing the sound as similar to a thunderclap or a distant blast. Emergency crews worked quickly to contain the fire, which had caused significant damage to the structure. Firefighters used multiple water lines to bring the blaze under control, while investigators began their assessment of the scene.
Photos from the incident show the extent of the destruction, with the home’s interior severely damaged and the exterior partially collapsed. Several fire engines, including a Pierce engine, were seen on the scene, with firefighters working alongside paramedics and other emergency personnel.
The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, but authorities have not yet released any details about potential hazards or gas leaks. Residents in the area are being advised to remain cautious and avoid the neighborhood until further notice. As the investigation continues, the community is coming together to support those affected by the tragic event.
Low-temperature 2-color Ratio Pyrometer
This classification includes two color infrared pyrometers measuring range is 250℃-2200℃.
Compared with one color infrared pyroemter, two color pyrometer measuring result will not change with state of object surface (surface roughness or surface chemical state), that means two color infrared thermometer accuracy will not be affacted, while the 1-color pyrometer will.
The optical part of pyrometer, such as glass, will accumulate some dust in the surfac after using for a period. Water, gas, oil vapour, dust in the air will reduce the emissivity coefficient, so the monochromatic pyrometer will reduce the measured value at this time. The Dual color pyrometer measures the ratio of infrared radiation intensities of two band wavelength in a specific range. With dust, water vapor and other disturbances, the signals of two wavelength fall simultaneously and the ratio remains constant after division. And user just need to wipe the glass when it is too dirty.
Monochromatic thermometers cannot measure objects smaller than the field of view. When the object does not fill the field of view, the measurement temperature will be low. A bicolor pyrometer can measure objects smaller than the field of view.
Products in this classification are usually applied to metallurgical industry(rod and wire mills, Hot rolling mills), foundry, cement kiln, induction heating, heat treatment, heating furnace, vacuum furnace, monocrystalline silicon, polysilicon, semiconductor and other industrial temperature measurement.
