View of what appears to be a fallen bridge with wooden railings over the Los Angeles River during or after a violent rain storm. A group of men wearing high boots is next to the bridge.
At left, brush lines the foreground and stretches back towards center. In the distance at right, trusses from the Compton Avenue wooden bridge are collapsed on the ground and ablaze. Flames cluster together along the right edge. Beyond the brush at left, thick black smoke billows up along the left edge. Smoke and flames occupy the background.
