Closed Fire Stations are not off limits to scrappers it seems?

They could be converted back to active fire stations.

The beautiful old home of the "Junction Boys" was wide open yesterday. I noticed that some Victorian-era radiators that earlier I had seen stacked up near the open door were gone.

I have no idea who to call when that building is open. I called 911 once and they said I should call BS&E - never open when the old fire station is being ransacked.

I heard t these stations are in the hands of a property broker and the City won't respond to calls. to calls about them.

Oh well - pretty soon Junction Ave. will be leveled entirely as there have been no lights for years.

Fire Stations ? LoL There are countless videos in youtube of people exploring Detroit area abandoned police departments littered with evidence and city joints that still have their lights burning.

That scrap fire pole probably would bring a nice Benjamin.

Check out the one behind St. Anne's Church and the other old fire house on Bagley @ Sixth. There was one on Michigan Ave that had been converted to a restaurant, but after the owner died in an automobile accident, it was deserted. Things can be done to make them useable.

Nothing is 'off limits' to scrappers. If I were a Detroit police officer, I'd keep an eye on my car.
