Description |
This is a photograph of a controlled burn of a home located at approximately 7102 West 111th Street in Worth, Illinois. The home was next to the Worth Fire and Police Department. It was burned down in 1976 with multiple fire departments from surrounding towns participating in the training exercise. In this photograph, the roof has collapsed inward and heavy smoke blots out the surrounding area. Joe Parisi, Mario Irigoyan, and Russ Williams of the Worth Fire Department maintain a light spray from fire hoses to keep the fire under control. |
