Steve Redick recently spent some tim win Detroit documenting the work of the fire department:
Made a trip to Detroit this last week and we were able to see quite a few jobs..some big some small. I compiled a video of some of the more interesting ones and layered in some radio traffic. The end result is pretty much the story of a typical 4 days in that town. Keep in mind this kinda thing happens every day, year in and year out. These guys take a beating every day they come to work and really don’t get the help they deserve nor the pay they should be earning. As I say every time I go there, this members have my respect, and I sure hope things get better for them. It’s a tough way to feed your family.

More interesting Detroit fire photos from Steve Redick.
Detroit, Oct. 2008. Bagley and Vinewood … box alarm with extra companies … interesting to note that 1st due eng 10 is no longer in service … vacant apartment building
Steve Redick submitted more from Detroit.
Detroit March 2007… fire in a warehouse … numerous explosions from chemical storage … the vacant lot we were standing in was a recently cleaned up haz mat site … little did we know!!
Another Detroit job from Steve Redick
This fire was the same day as the last big Detroit job you posted. We found the fire and reported it immediately. Back porches on a mixed occupancy, tavern on the first floor apartments above. Apparently vacant. Embers were threatening a large church nearby. This was one of the first fires where I saw Detroit using PPV … it was reasonably effective in this instance.
Steve Redick submitted this huge fire from Detroit in October of 2009 which produced spectacular smoke conditions.
