I like this shot because of the huge vacant in the background..the fire was not in this building..a smaller one down the street

The rest of the day was absolutely dead...we were at the drug store to
get some provisions when were heard Highland park go to a porch fire.
The officer questioned the dispatch saying there were no buildings left
at the given intersection. We responded anyway.".just in case". We
arrived before they had gotten water to the tower. A few anxious moments
were heard on the radio..something to the effect of get some water on
the handlines or we will burn up the rig! As we have often said, these
guys have almost no manpower, and 2 of the 3 rigs are in really bad
shape. They had to stretch several hundred feet of LDH to get a working
hydrant. It sounds like both of these dwellings were pretty much rolling
when they arrived. The radiant heat was such that you could hardly get
near these things. You cant tell from the photos but these were big 2
1/2 story frames..the last ones remaining on the block...

Detroit Trip June 8 2013 - Guest - 06-12-2013
quite a bit of radiant heat...
Detroit Trip June 8 2013 - Guest - 06-12-2013
this was about the high point of the fire
Detroit Trip June 8 2013 - Guest - 06-12-2013
we figured out a way to avoid the downed wires and began to change position........

1 building already on the ground..the other to follow soon

trying to keep the radiant heat off the basket...I believe the ladder is condemned and they just use it as an elevated master stream device
