This was the first box of the day on October 11, 2015 in Detroit.  I was on the other side of town and it took a little time to get there.  Engine 33 was only a few blocks away and had heavy fire showing from the attic.  A real nice save as the frames on both sides were occupied and sustained minimal damage.  It can’t be seen from the front but most of the house behind the facade collapsed in the rear and the damage was much worse than what it looks like.  You can also see the old and the new engine styles with Engine 33 being the newer edition.  Over the three days I was in town, there were at least 5 occupied structure fires, two of which had transports for civilians with burns or smoke inhalation.  Overnight on the 11th, there were at least six Box Alarms that I could count but none of which were going throughout.  On Saturday afternoon, Engines 50 and 60 had two workers within an hour and a half but I couldn’t get to either of them in time for anything of photographic value.  Overall, a very busy weekend in Detroit but no commercial buildings and no alarms above the box.
