John Tulipano was in Detroit recently and submitted images from the trip.

Just returned from a trip to the “D”!

We made 20 fires over a 3 day run… I’ve taken 1000 photos with my new camera, so I have much to sort thru … we had a very successful trip. I have included some shots from a 2nd Alarm at Fullerton and Lawton (see description below borrowed from Dennis Walus)

On Thursday October 24th 2013 at Aprox 0030 hours Detroit 5th Battalion companies responded to a reported vacant dwelling fire at Fullerton & Lawton.

There are more images from this fire.

Steve Redick recently spent some tim win Detroit documenting the work of the fire department:

Made a trip to Detroit this last week and we were able to see quite a few jobs..some big some small. I compiled a video of some of the more interesting ones and layered in some radio traffic. The end result is pretty much the story of a typical 4 days in that town. Keep in mind this kinda thing happens every day, year in and year out. These guys take a beating every day they come to work and really don’t get the help they deserve nor the pay they should be earning. As I say every time I go there, this members have my respect, and I sure hope things get better for them. It’s a tough way to feed your family.
