Detroit 'Street Experience' Contains Warehouse Fire

摘要

SOON AFTER ONE OF THE BUSIEST Fourth of Julys in Detroit (MI) Fire Department (DFD) history, the department responded to a commercial box alarm of fire in the city's wholesale food distribution area, the Eastern Market. At 0928 hours on July 8, 2017, the DFD dispatched four engines, a ladder/platform, a ladder, two squads, two battalion chiefs, and emergency medical services (EMS) to 1555 Division, between Riopelle and Orleans. Since 1891, the Eastern Market, just east of downtown Detroit, has been the main wholesale distribution center for produce and meats for restaurants and other customers in southeastern Michigan.
