A single-story brick house with severe fire damage is shown, with the roof partially collapsed and charred. The front porch structure is mostly intact but heavily blackened. The house is surrounded by overgrown vegetation, including tall grass and dense bushes, particularly around the porch and along the side. Trees are visible in the background, and no people are present in the scene.
