Detroit 01:50AM April 6 2017: Detroit Fire’s Engine 29 responded to reports of wire’s down and a possible hazard at 7701 W Jefferson early this morning.

Early Morning Fire Injures 4 In Detroit’s West Side.

Detroit— An early-morning fire at a two-family home on Detroit’s west side forced a teenage boy to jump from a second story window Friday, fire officials said.

The fire was reported around 3:40 a.m. on the 2200 block of West Euclid Avenue.

The 13-year-old boy, along with his 5-day-old sibling, 34-year-old mother and a 19-year-old woman all suffered smoke inhalation and were hospitalized, Detroit Deputy Fire Commissioner David Fornell said.

The teenage boy also sustained lacerations to his arm from the jump.

Closed Victory Inn Burns On Detroit’s West Side

Detroit: The monstrously notorious Victory Inn @ 9430 Michigan in Detroit’s west side mysteriously burned last night, twice.

The scene of a recent raid conducted by multiple agencies at the hotel brought to light a drug/prostitution and human trafficking operation ran from the hotel by a gaggle of career criminals from Detroit.

A search of @DetroitScanner will yield a boatload of results when it comes to the Victory Inn, including a Detroit PD OIS. The place is/was basically a verifiable shithole.

Last night, Detroit Fire’s 5th & 7th Battalions took on Victory Inn twice. A fire was reported at 11:00PM. Detroit Fire companies battled the blaze for around 2 hours, and returned at around 2:00AM for a rekindle.

Companies: Engine 34, Engine 27, Engine 33, Engine 42, Ladder Truck 22, Ladder Truck 13, Squad 4, Squad 2, Battalion Chief 7, Battalion Chief 5, DFD Photographer 608, Detroit Police Arson Car 812, DEMS Medic 19.

DEMS Medic 19 transports 1 civilian, most likely a vagrant, from the fire scene. 1 suspect was apparently taken into custody following the rekindle @ 2:00AM. Detroit Police Arson Car 812 also responded.
