House Fire

These pictures were taken in a neighborhood close to my parents' home in Illinois.  A house recently partially burned down and I stopped by to take some pictures.  I had never seen the affects of a house fire up close and the damage that results is really quite humbling.  It's really hard to believe how a lifetime of possessions can go up in flames in a matter of minutes.  Thankfully no one was hurt in this fire.  Here's a couple pictures.  What really blew my mind is what wasn't damaged.  I found the toy lawn mower exactly where it is in the picture below.  There was also an intact Nike box in the house and plenty of freeze pops in the freezer.
