Much love to all the brave hero's of the Detroit Fire Department. Incredible dedication!!!!  GOD BLESS!!!!

so sad to see beautiful structures wasted. bless the emergency responsers of Detroit

I'm not from Detroit, heck, I'm not even an American...  But It makes me sad to see the slow decay of such a once great city...  I really hope she rises back up!  And two thumbs up for those brave Firefighters!!

"if something happens, call the fire department, they'll come with a lot of noise and a lot of people." I love it, much love

A lot of good quotes in this documentary. "Call the fire department, because they will come with a lot of noise and a lot of people" has to be my favorite one so far though.

It was Detroit's Fire Department that influenced me to become a firefighter. i just recently passed my FF1 course and im looking forward to what my fire department brings. keep up the good work guys! Cheers from Litchfield!

00:54 the writing on the wall says, in Russian, "welcome to Chechnya", heh :-)

Over a billion dollars (probably more) in military aid just goes to Pakistan every year, and major American city is in shambles. This makes my head hurt.

the city has been tearing a lot of these down over the past few years. there are still so many out there but at least they are working on it. progress!

Great job Constance . As a firefighter on the west coast of Canada , I have never had a day as busy as my brothers in Detroit . Stay safe my friends !!!

these guys and gals are the true heroes.

It's b-rabbit and cheddar bob behind it all. "Me and Dre stood next to a burnt down house with a can full of gas and a hand fulla matches...and still no one found out"

Ok, I watched the whole movie and it was incredibly inspiring to see and hear what these heroes take on despite all the problems.
I really appreciated hearing all different members of the crew speak about their experiences. Everyone from the arson investigators, to the captains, to the firefighters who literally put their lives on the line to save people. That's what they signed up for; to save lives. Having to be distracted by dealing with vacant buildings, fire-bombers, juvenile delinquents, and suspicious fires set by people needing to just collect on the insurance or to make the process of demolition simpler and easier.
What really was heart-wrenching is hearing about the people living next door to these fire hazards, keeping their own houses up and liveable seeing a vacant house next door be torched and spreading to destroying the home they loved.  One clip showed a junk heap going up in flames next to a nice home with hanging plants, wind chimes, and a beautifully kept a lawn being irreparably damaged despite all the love they put into a place they called home.
The suspected corruption of city contractors taking tax $ for the job of tearing down an eyesore and a "mysterious" fire breaking out on the property is stomach-turning.
I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit. I would never move back to Michigan if there was anything I could do in my power to avoid it. But these firefighters actually care about the city and the people trying to live in this hell hole honestly. That is admirable!  
I'm so happy to be in Southern California. We have earthquakes, floods, and wildfires. But we don't have to live in a garbage dump or a corrupted city. Maybe these Democratic mayors and City Council members need to be thrown out of office. Give a Republican a chance to keep your city from decaying and burning.
Anyway, major respect for these firefighters. It's quite humbling to see people risk their lives to save their city despite the dismal odds.

Detroit Fire is straight up("bullshark")!! I suffered a stroke due to gross medical negligence,and they refused to pay my pension because my former smoking habit was deemed a "pre-existing condition"!!! A simple case of sinusitis,which went misdiagnosed and untreated,caused the bacteria to"eat"through the walls of my sinus cavity,infect my brain with an abcess,bringing on a stroke,but smoking was deemed a"pre-existing condition",and thus I have to seek other avenues to support myself!! Thanks DFD;you're ALL heart!!But in November of 2001,my smoking didn't stop ME from being one of  only TWO firefighters to reach the 20th floor apartment of a building where a flickering yellow light was reported by  passers-by!! On my way up there I passed a half-dozen NON-smoking/non-drinking firefighters who were sitting on the stairs"out-of-gas"and a sergeant leaning over the 12th floor railing"dry-heaving"and unable to proceed any further!! If you live in Detroit,make sure you live BELOW the 10th floor of any structure,if you expect to be rescued!!

Yes, I got an A. :)
I've been working on Detroit on Fire 2 since then - it's now live and posted. Be sure to check it out so you can see what's been going on since.  Thanks!

I was born in Detroit to see this city in the shape it's in now a days makes me sad

EXCELLENT video documentary showing the lives of some of the GREATEST firemen in the world and the arson ravaged city they do battle in day in and day out, Great job Constance!         Lt. Tony Buckrop Gary,IN Fire Dept.  

Congratulation! One of the best documentary i've seen. I'm a firefighter form Canada and i knew there was something goin on in Detroit but didn't thought it was that bad.

Keep doing movies your doing good.

I am so proud of my cousin Roberto Romero and all the Detroit Fire fighters who put their lives and their family’s lives out on the line every day to help others- people, buildings..... This is more than just a job; it’s a commitment, a life style a sacrifice every day.
