Detroit Fires Galleries

Detroit- October 2008 : Took our annual trip to Detroit from October 8th through the 11th. The weather was great and there were plenty of fires, they were all just on the other side of the city from where we were. We went to a bunch of fires, I just never saw the heavy fire that I am used to seeing in Detroit. We did see heavy fire out the windows of one house we went to but as we were parking the car, the fire went out. We went to several fires that I never took pictures at or even never got out of the car. This gallery contains all of the photos I took from this trip. They are from Detroit and Highland Park. Detroit- Maddellein and Monarh, Roselawn and Fullerton, and VanCourt Highland Park- McClean Street
