Box Alarm fire in Detroit
All posts tagged Box Alarm fire in Detroit
This box at Forest and St Clair, was a real job … unfortunately it occurred at rush hour, we were 7 miles away and stuck in heavy traffic … It’s amazing we got what we did … 2 large exposures. one occupied, severely threatened. We arrived just prior to the collapse of the fire building. Exposure 2 looked like an occupied 2-flat … exposure 4 a similar vacant … It looked very much in doubt for a few minutes … but as usual, a good stop was made. The red and white rig was 1 of 2 in service, and now I think is a very worn out spare.
Steve Redick visited Detroit last week to photograph fires. Her submitted these images and descriptions.
