Box Alarm fire in Detroit
All posts tagged Box Alarm fire in Detroit
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.

While visiting Detroit with Steve Redick following the fire department, we took in a fire at 1456 Canton, Tuesday night. Companies arrived and reported a large, three-story frame that was well-involved. The first engines stretched lines to protect an exposure across the street and another that was across a vacant lot.
Here are several images from the scene.
