Detroit, MI – Engine 60 stretched on this two story dwelling with smoke showing. Companies found fire in the attic area and had trouble accessing it due to the construction layout.

this was a big miss … a well-involved vacant commercial dry cleaners at Plymouth and St Mary’s. There was a big header visible for the entire 30 minutes it took to get here … at rush hour.  It was a long run in heavy traffic. This must have been a real spectacle early on.

This last job was the best of the trip … heavy fire in a vacant at Pennsylvania and Canfield Andover and Winchester with communication to two others. Interesting response as Hamtramk and Highland Park were due. I finally I got a shot of a Hamtramk rig. This was a good job and a good stop in my opinion. A little deck gun application before we arrived really bought some time.

This box was a fully-involved vacant at Hampton and Wayburne with no real exposures. They allowed the roof to burn off then hit it with the ladder pipe. Pretty typical job.

These shots are from 2735 Hooker. A fully-involved, vacant dwelling with a severe exposure problem to a two-flat. It still amazes me how well they keep the exposures protected with just a small hand line … usually only from the front. A ladder pipe was setup and this was over pretty quickly.
