This one rewuires a little bit of background/explanation. I had noticed on the night of the 3rd into the 4th that a large impromtu car show/get together was happening on Livernois Ave around 3 AM. I was coming down Livernois on the 4th into the 5th and noticed traffic as I approached Tireman Ave. I bypassed the area as traffic was pretty much at a standstill. I worked my way over and evaentually took Martin (which has a spectacular 2 dwelling fire on Devil's Night 2008 that I shot) to McGraw, back out to Livernois. As I was sitting at the red light waiting to turn onto Livernois, Engine 34 was stilled out to a car fire at Livernois and Wagner. I went to plug it into the GPS but noticed that Wagner was 2 blocks to my left.
It took Engine 34 quite a while to get to the scene due to the large gathering of people and cars. The video at the end of the photos gives a pretty god idea of the environment. This was at the end/beginning of the gathering depending on which way you were travelling. I would estimate that there were at least 5000 people involved.
