This Just In…Detroit Continues to Burn

I just watched the video below about 4 fires in Detroit…Let me tell you what I was thinking.

Damn…that is a lot of fire. And that is just what was caught on film in several hours.

The third fire was interesting because of the reverse lay. That isn’t something my department does everyday. Then as you continued to watch, the firefighters don’t put water on it. I wonder whats up with that. I wonder if they decided to let it burn so that someone can’t burn it again some other day.

Given, Detroit is a big City. I have no clue if it is the same firefighters at these fires, but one of the fires was just down the street from another at the same time.

So it appears as though Detroit continues to burn…I don’t think that is a shock to anyone though. If you haven’t checked it out yet, there is a movement to create a full feature film called Burn: One Year on the Frontlines of the Battle to Save Detroit. Their video is below as well.
