In what some are calling a 'perfect storm' of conditions, a wind storm kicked up in Detroit last evening downing tree limbs and power lines. Officials are blaming downed power lines for starting dozens of fires, some involving 15-20 buildings in one shot. The DFD has stated The wave of fires broke out in a 3-4 hour period, between 1600hrs and 2000hrs. Many of the destroyed homes were abandoned. The DFD responded to 140 downed wire calls from 0800hrs to 1700hrs

Detroit brown's out 8-10 fire companies a day after years of downsizing the department. 236 firefighters were on-duty. One union official called the mutual aid response from Warren and other departments the largest since the riots in 1967.
