I recently returned from another trip to Detroit, I came away with a few decent jobs. Unfortunately, I missed the really busy times by a week. First up was a second alarm in a block long commercial building.
Detroit October 2014 Trip

The fire was located at 12066 Dexter. Engine 40 was just clearing from an attempted fire bombing of a second hand store down the street and caught this.
Ladder 7 and 17 both operated as these are the only two tower ladders left.
Some more tower ladder shots.
I tried to stitch together these photos for a panarama.
Last one. There was a very heavy smoke condition through out. These old buildings burn well.
From this fire we went to a vacant dwelling going in the 8th Battalion
These fire went to were the first fires for a lot of the trial men.
We went to this fire over in Chief Nine's area on Manistique, one of the last one's on the block.
The trial man getting some experience.
The following night was slow until we laid down at the motel. Within five minutes they had two box alarms about 5 minutes from our place. Both in Chief 6's area. The first was a molitov on a front porch of McClellan. The second came in as an occupied dwelling only three blocks from the first on Cadillac Blvd. We arrived first due.
This is stretchin' on a dwelling.
Companies had to come from Chief 9's area so we waited.
Great work.
Good photos! Are they ever going to run out of buildings to burn?
