This fire was at 15086 Linnhurst in a vacant 1.5 sty wood frame dwelling. It was the last house on that side of Linnhurst in a now bare neighborhood of the 3rd Battalion. Engine 58 won the race, and stretched on the dwelling. Before our arrival, it was going pretty good. They stretched their 1.5″ handline and pushed throughout the dwelling making a hell of stop. It was very cold, and the wind gusts were near 30MPH.

On December 23, 2022 Detroit firefighters fought a four-alarm fire at 750 Canton Street at E. Lafayette. The block long, one- and two-story structure had several interconnected buildings and was filled with cars and boats. Frozen hydrants, low water pressure, blowing snow, zero wind chill, and high winds hampered the efforts of fire fighters to control the fire.
