Update: Detroit Fire Department


LeDuff: The Big D is Burning (Video):
"You don't get rid of a negative image by making movies. You get rid of a negative image by fixing the problems."



Detroit, MI - The Detroit Fire Department has moved forward with its so-called "firefighter tourism" program where firefighters from outside of Detroit can pay to ride on the rigs and fight fire Detroit style. Ten firefighters from Belgium have reportedly paid $2,000 each to do just that. Unfortunately, one of the Belgians fell through a roof of a burning building. Fortunately he survived to tell the tale. Unfortunately the City of Detroit doesn't have any insurance.

On a related note, film makers have made yet another documentary about the Detroit Fire Department. The City of Detroit is a disaster and the epitome of how not to run a municipality. The U.S. debut of the movie premiered in Detroit last night. Check out the trailer:
