A Tour Through Detroit (July 2007) : Many firefighters from around here have asked me what Detroit looks like. So on this last trip I decided to set out to show them. This gallery is meant in no way to be a derogatory statement of Detroit. Detroit is a large city with very much to offer, especially in its downtown area. However, I did set out to show the city through the eyes of a fireman, showing it's fire load and potential dangers. After viewing this 'landscape' of Detroit, I hope that all will respect the work that our brother firefighters in Detroit have to deal with EVERY day and EVERY night. These guys are no joke! There is a saying in Detroit right now that ‘EVERY NIGHT IS DEVIL’S NIGHT IN DETROIT’. ...Stay safe brothers
