Detroit Firemen Battle 5-Alarm Blaze
Fire was discovered on the second floor of a five-story building in the heart of Detroit’s wholesale district, West Jefferson near Woodward Avenue on May 10 at 3:50 a.m.
Fanned by cross draughts, and aided by quick-burning materials, the fire soon spread to other floors, later involving the entire structure. Five alarms were sounded in quick succession and brought to the scene fourteen engine and hose companies, five truck companies, three high pressure companies, two Rescue Squads, a water tower, and the F'ire Department’s ambulance.
