Steve Neavling of Motor City Muckraker set out to change the beleaguered Detroit Fire Department, and over three years has collected photos and written stories on the issues.
He writes:
For the past three years, Motor City Muckraker photographed fires in Detroit as part of a project to reveal the widespread damage caused by the city’s arson epidemic.
Time and time again, we saw firefighters struggling with broken equipment and hydrants as fires consumed home after home. Even in the face of dramatic budget cuts, Detroit’s firefighters never relented.
More than 10,000 fires broke out in houses, apartments, schools, churches, businesses and other buildings since 2013.
Neavling has posted more than 20 photos.
