Flint Firefighters Face Four Fires In 2 Hours
FLINT, MICHIGAN, FIREFIGHTERS WERE PRESSED TO the limit Monday night when four working fires, three of them arsons, lit up during a 2-hour span.
The night of action began just after 6 pm when they responded to a vacant school building for a fire inside that was later determined to be set. While they were there, a vacant house was torched and kept one alarm assigment busy for a while.
The third fire came shortly after at an occupied dwelling where the residents were barbecuing too close to the house and set it on fire causing several thousands of dollars in damage.
Before 8:00 the fourth fire came along at another vacant house. Three neighboring departments assisted in the collective efforts and filled in stations.
WNEM has a video report of the night’s activities:
