Dan Shelin was in Detroit last week and took in this fire on the 23rd of September.

9/23/13 Detroit ,Michigan. Commercial building on fire at Livernois & Buchanan.  25 x 50, 1 1/2 story ordinary. Ladder 22 was dispatched to a location a few blocks away to check for a fire. They reported nothing found. Central then recieved the correct location from a caller and Ladder 22 found heavy smoke from this building. Fire was in sector 1 roof section, but caused a smoke condition throughout. Thanks Dan Shevlin

There was apparently only one working aerial platform in the city of Detroit, so Highland Park came mutual aid with their working platform.

Steve Redick visited Detroit last week to photograph fires. Her submitted these images and descriptions.

Just returned from a stay in the “d”…they had several fires, but most were too far from our position to make, and those we did were already well under control when we arrived. These shots are from a box alarm … not much fire left when we arrived but some nice gritty working photos.
