This was around midnight on W. Warren @ Scotten in Detroit. Squad 4 arrived and advised the first engine would be stretching and they had possibly two dwellings going. Engines 39 and 42 both dumped their monitors which pretty much saved the occupied dwelling to the west.
Here is another Box Alarm we took in around 0330 in the morning of 8/20/16. It was @ 720 S Green just off Fort St. Engine 29 stretched on a two-story dwelling going throughout. Ladder 8 utilized their main water way.
Here are some images of the Detroit Fire Department working a dwelling going throughout on the evening of April 16, 2016. The address was 5071 Cadillac Ave and the call came in at 9:23.
A singlewide mobile home suffered extensive damage in an early morning structure fire at 78 Shadow Court on Friday morning 30-October. At 03:27, 9-1-1 operators received several reports of fire coming from a residence at the end of Shadow Court, a small mobile home park located off the 1800 block of Jefferies Hwy north of Walterboro. Colleton County (SC) Fire-Rescue Engine 19 arrived minutes later to find the singlewide mobile home approximately 40% involved with two nearby mobile homes endangered. Firefighter-paramedics deployed two 1-3/4 handlines to the structure, initially making an exterior attack, while other crewmembers breached the front door. One handline was used to protect the exposures until the flames were diminished. They had the bulk of the fire knocked down within 10 minutes, but were on the scene performing overhaul for about 1-1/2 hours. The north end of the building was completely destroyed, while the remainder of the building received heat and smoke damage. No one was at home when the fire occurred. Water supply was conducted with the use of tenders pumping to Engine 19. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Engine 19, Engine 26, Tender 1, Tender 19, Tender 26, Medic 19, Battalion 1 and Car 12 responded. Battalion Chief Brent Dalton served as Incident Commander.

Fire location:: Radio Road in Conewago Township, Adams County, Hanover Pennsylvania
Fire went to five alarms and firefighters were on-scene for several days with flare ups as demolition crews worked to clear the scene
Originally dispatched for an automatic fire alarm, the Conewago Township Police Dept arrived on the scene of the Miller Chemical Company on Radio Road and advised nothing showing, then quickly upgraded to smoke showing. A structure fire assignment was dispatched, which was quickly upgraded to a working fire assignment. It didn’t take long for this fire to go to multiple alarms … the last we heard it was possibly up to a five alarm fire.
Departments as far away as York PA sent ladder trucks (1-1 and 89-1). Adams County Haz Mat was on scene as well as a haz-mat task force (Cumberland County). Multiple explosions rocked the B/C corner making it seem like 4th of July came early. Major chemical run-off mixed with the water from fire hoses. Area residents were told to evacuate or shelter in their homes due to the toxic smoke possibilities.
At one point six ladder companies were flowing large amounts of water. Departments from Adams, York, Cumberland were seen operating in various capacities. The Red Cross was on hand for refreshments. Pennsylvania State Police was on hand for crowd and media control. PSP Fire Marshals were on scene throughout the night also. A decon team was established for cleaning the fire fighter gear. An EMS tent was established for FF welfare checks.
