Parkside fire, pt. 2

Alyssa Dimmick walks past a wall that only hours before was covered with photos. Some frames fell to the ground during the fire that was caused by overflowing grease, some Dimmick took off the wall to take for safe keeping.

Dimmick searches for necessary belonging before her apartment is boarded up, including her daughter's doll.

Dimmock recovers paperwork in her scorched kitchen while her mother and daughter look in from the outside.

Dimmock looks in her room for clothing and other valuables she might need in the coming weeks.

This is the only photo I was able to take with natural light. Dimmock is framed through a window that was broken by firefighters as they worked to extinguish the fire.

Dimmick smiles as she recovers a coffee maker she acquired in Costa Rica. The fire began when Dimmock was frying fish and the oil ignited.

Workers board up Dimmick's window as she and her landlord watch from the outside.
