A fire burned through an older, historic home in the suburban Chicago village of Hinsdale, Illinois, and fire photographer Tim Olk offered a sample of some photos from the scene.

Fire Chief John Giannelli said the original call came in about 3:30 p.m. for a porch fire, but when firefighters arrived it was spreading quickly, with flames from the basement level to the roof, according to the Chicago Tribune.
