Massive Fire At Mansion Once Owned By Dwyane Wade

SOUTH HOLLAND, IL - A mansion in south suburban South Holland that was once owned by NBA basketball star Dwyane Wade was engulfed in flames early Monday afternoon. Multiple reports on social media indicate a home on East 158th Street caught fire shortly after noon.

Some reports indicate an explosion occurred, with a heater visible. A person of interest is reportedly in custody as the fire is considered an arson.

The home, located at 1760 E. 158th St., was owned by Wade for a time until he sold it in 2016. WGN reports that neighbors told them Wade never lived in the home but his ex-wife and children did.

Firefighters were still on site working to put out the fire around 4 p.m., according to a TV report from ABC.

Officials were not immediately available to confirm details.
