Gas Station Explosion Rocks Berwyn With Towering Flames And Shattered Buildings
A fierce explosion demolished a BP gas station at the corner of Ogden and Oak Park avenues on July 25, sending flames high into the sky and damaging nearby buildings.
X user you_dont_know_me recorded the event and said, “The gas station by me exploded right in front of me. A downed power line cut into the concrete and ruptured a gas line. Power was out for a while.”
Emergency crews were already on the scene at 3:42 p.m., responding to storm-related damage when downed power lines ignited two gas lines at the station.
The explosion occurred at 3:49 p.m., causing the gas station to collapse. The blast shattered windows at nearby Novi’s Beef restaurant. Manager Tom Zednik said, “The roof shot about two-three hundred feet in the air and then it just came down. It just shook us and thank God we have double pane glass, because our windows shattered instantly.”
Witnesses saw a small fire start before the explosion. Nearby homes and businesses were evacuated as firefighters fought the blaze. Michelle Donnamario said, “It started off as a small little fire behind the gas station. Everyone got out, that I saw... then the huge boom. And my neighbors said it looked like a nuke went off.”
Multiple blocks near the station were closed off to traffic. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Fire crews stayed on site for hours working to control the fire as authorities investigate the cause.
