Berwyn had a Box Alarm this afternoon at 2311 Harvey. The first company on scene reported heavy smoke and fire showing from a two-story bungalow. Mutual aid companies were from Stickney, Cicero, North Riverside and Forest Park. Josh Boyajian was at the scene right after the first engine and saw heavy smoke with fire on the second floor. He submitted several images.

Sorry about the quality of the photos, it was very smoky and they were taken off of my iPhone
