DETROIT October 24, 2016: 3 Detroit Firefighters were injured this morning fighting a fire at an abandoned multi family dwelling on Detroit’s north end. Detroit Fire dispatched the 5th Battalion around 8:30am to 526 Harmon on reports of a dwelling fire. Battalion Chief 5 was first on scene and reported the first engine would be stretching.

DFD companies experienced pressure issues while battling the flames in both the basement and on the second floor of the building.

Those issues were quickly mitigated and the fight continued. Fire was reported in the walls of the structure while working their way up to the attic. At 9:15am, Battalion Chief 5 reported 2 firefighters were injured and Detroit Medics 2 & 1 conveyed those 2 firefighters to Detroit Receiving Hospital on St Antoine St. 1 firefighter experienced a back injury while the other had burns to the face. It’s unknown how they received the injuries nor the extent of the injuries suffered. A 3rd Detroit firefighter experienced a back injury later during the firefight and was also conveyed to DRH by Detroit Medic 10.

Battalion Chief 5 then requested 2 additional companies and an additional Detroit Medic unit to the incident scene. Detroit Fire’s Senior Chief 203 also responded to scene although he didn’t assume command. Battalion Chief 5 remained the incident commander.

At 10:35am, Battalion Chief 5 terminated incident command on the box alarm and handed the IC to companies on the scene. Chief 5 then advised central dispatch that he was en route to Detroit Receiving Hospital to check on his injured firefighters.

DFD Ladder 7 reported a disposition of 021 (Suspicious Origin) and advised central dispatch that DPD Arson Car would remain on scene.

I’ll update when updates are available.

screen-shot-2016-10-11-at-8-50-41-amDETROIT October 8 2016: Yeah, you read that right. A creepy clown was captured by cell phone video clinging to the back of a DDOT Bus. Either the “creepy clown” was late for a murder or he/she just didn’t have the correct change..or both. Who knows? It isn’t immediately clear where the clown was headed to or where the bus was when the creepy clown latched on to it, but does it really matter? It’s a freaking clown hanging off the back of a bus ffs. It isn’t often you see a clown hanging off the back of the bus…You need to know this stuff.
