Berwyn experienced a box alarm this afternoon at 2311 Harvey. The first arriving company reported heavy smoke and visible fire coming from a two-story bungalow. Mutual aid units from Stickney, Cicero, North Riverside, and Forest Park quickly responded to the scene. Josh Boyajian arrived shortly after the initial engine and witnessed thick smoke with flames on the second floor. He captured several photos documenting the incident.
As the fire spread, crews worked quickly to contain the blaze. The Seagrave aerial was positioned in the 'A Sector' with the main ladder extended, allowing for a better vantage point. Heavy smoke was immediately noticeable upon arrival, making visibility difficult for firefighters.
Firefighters deployed ladders to the second floor to position hand lines and begin suppression efforts. As the fire progressed, it began to vent through the roof on the A-D corner of the structure, indicating rapid fire growth.
Engine 903 pulled past the fire to access the hydrant at the end of the block, helping to maintain water supply for the operation. The scene remained active for some time as crews worked to fully extinguish the fire and ensure no hot spots remained.
