Here are some photos and a video of the box alarm vacant house fire in Detroit at Camden and Dickerson.

Chief 9 reported smoke showing before even going on scene, Engine 50 went on scene and reported they were stretching on a dwelling. Chief 9 arrived on scene and reported a two-story vacant dwelling with fire throughout and that they were going to take a defensive posture.

We were about 15 minutes away when companies started going en route.

Working fire in Detroit, MI – April 5, 2016

While on “patrol” in Detroit, we found a job at Gratiot and Seminole. We arrived to find a rapidly spreading fire involving two dwellings and it had not been reported. We were with the Detroit photo guy so he was able to report it directly to Central immediately by radio.  We observed all the operations from pre-arrival to collapse. They pretty much considered this a let-it-burn job but there were several occupied exposures nearby that were well covered. The tower ladder was primarily a water curtain for radiant heat until the buildings collapsed, then used for overhaul. This was a spectacular event to witness and I was able to get an assortment of some nice images.

Made a quick trip to Detroit last week, overall very quiet. These first shots are from a couple of daytime box alarms that weren’t much to see by the time we got in.

10/19/15 Detroit, MI – This vacant dwelling fire at 13495 Shields was started by a brand from the Sunset fire. The sustained winds turned this house into an inferno before companies arrived.
