I was in Detroit for a few days earlier this week. I only made it to a few fires. This was a Box Alarm @ Tillman and W. Warren. We arrived right with Engine 34 and I was able to get them stretching. Looked like a small fire in the first floor front room. Ladder 22 vented it as they were making entry with the hoseline. The boys made a quick knockdown and brought it under control.
Here are a few images from a Commercial Box Alarm in Detroit, MI on April 8th of this year. It was a vacant apartment building at Miitary and Cadet. Eric Haak
