The old Arlan's part of the Packard Plant is burning. Slow news day right?
Any pictures?
Pictures or it didn't happen.
Let us know when the Packard isnt on fire, that would be news.
Don't call the fire department.
The FD was there but not doing anything. Maybe they couldn't find a working hydrant.
Approx. location of fire. [[Looking east on EGB)

The clock on this site is one hour slow - someone didn't spring forward...
Speaking of fire. Did anyone see what that massive fire was near Grand River and Mack just now? It blew smoke all the way down to GCP. Thick Black Smoke.
good place to stay out of.

The DFD has a policy not to fight fires within the Packard. The building is too unsafe for them. Frankly, I think it's a smart policy.Quote:

Detroit Fire Department spokesman Chief Kwaku Atara said the department has a policy of not responding to fires at the plant.
"We're not allowed to go into the building because it's considered a dangerous structure," Atara said....
A city official said no one has applied for permits to demolish the building....
A key step before demolition is removing asbestos in the plant, but the state Department of Environmental Quality said no one has submitted a plan for asbestos removal.
