We are so used to seeing Detroit firefighters fight fires in multiple vacant dwellings or an abandoned factory you take a little more notice when it’s an occupied high-rise apartment building. This caught my attention from BoxAlarmDetroit. It’s a two-alarm fire at a large building at 1415 Parker Street known as the Parkstone Apartments. The fire was reported around 4:30 yesterday afternoon.
Anne Zaniewski, Detroit Free Press:
Six people were taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation after a fire broke out Friday afternoon at the Parkstone Apartments on Detroit’s east side.
Officials are trying to determine the cause of the fire, which started about 4:30 p.m. in a fourth-floor apartment. One firefighter suffered a minor finger injury.
The massive building at the corner of Agnes and Parker Streets on the city’s east side was evacuated.
A Detroit fire battalion chief on scene said six people were taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation, but there were no major injuries.
The cause was still under investigation.Do you want to sell a rig? Click HERE to find out how with SellFireTrucks.com.
