This was the big job of the trip, a 4-flat going. We arrived a few minutes after the first companies to 1456 Canton. Strictly a cover the exposures and let it go job. Made for some nice images though. I can’t imagine getting used to seeing this kinda job every day like these guys do…

Another Box Alarm in Detroit, this one at 7299 Cahalan, June 18, 2014. A vacant dwelling that firefighters let burn as part of a policy to reduce the frequency of repeated arson fires in the same buildings. Firefighters used hand lines to protect occupied exposures on either side of the vacant dwelling.
