Tourist Paying To Help Fight Detroit's Fires

Detroit, MI – I don’t know how many of you have been keeping up with the goings ons with the Detroit Fire Department, but this beats all. 


Last month the City of Detroit laid off 27 more firefighters, demoted almost 150, and enacted a 10% pay cut across the board. Now DFD is considering charging volunteer firefighters who want to ride on their rigs and fight some real Detroit-style fires to help make up the shortfall in their budget. They call it “firefighter tourism!”
