House fire in Berwyn, 9-1-21
From Joel Gonzalez:
> Berwyn Full Still 9/1/21 @ 3448 s Gunderson

It’s September 1st, 2021, and I’m standing here at the scene of a house fire in Berwyn, Illinois. It's intense—smoke billowing everywhere, firefighters working tirelessly to bring it under control. The address is 3448 South Gunderson, and from what I can see, this fire has really taken hold.
The first image I captured shows the chaos as flames lick at the structure. You can see the firefighters in action, their faces determined, hoses blasting water onto the inferno. It’s always surreal to witness such dedication and bravery when you're so close to danger like this.
In the second shot, there’s a different angle, highlighting how widespread the damage already is. The heat radiates even from where I’m standing, and I can’t help but feel grateful for the professionals who put themselves in harm’s way every day to keep us safe.
The third photo captures more of the surrounding area. Neighbors have gathered nearby, watching anxiously while maintaining a safe distance. There’s something humbling about seeing a community come together in moments like these, whether through support or just shared concern.
Finally, the last picture gives a broader view of the situation. You get a sense of the scale now—the firefighters are like tiny figures amidst the towering flames. It’s a stark reminder of both the power of nature and the resilience of humanity.
These images are all taken by me, Joel Gonzalez, and they document an unforgettable day in Berwyn. Fires are unpredictable, but thanks to the efforts of our brave first responders, lives—and hopefully most of this home—are salvageable.
