During one of many trips to Detroit we caught this fire in a vacant warehouse at Vinewood and Toledo.
Eng 10 arrived first and reported a four-story vacant, commercial building approximately 200X350 with heavy fire on the 3rd floor. Companies worked for approximately two hours to bring the fire under control using two platforms, one ladder pipe, and several handlines. They remained on-scene for over 24 hours.

This was the big job of the trip, a 4-flat going. We arrived a few minutes after the first companies to 1456 Canton. Strictly a cover the exposures and let it go job. Made for some nice images though. I can’t imagine getting used to seeing this kinda job every day like these guys do…
