Download or read book Detroit Fire Department written by David Traiforos and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once known as the “Paris of the West,” Motown became synonymous with urban abandonment and arson as job and population decline took hold in the late 20th century. No other fire department has experienced the hardships of the job on such a consistent basis as the Detroit Fire Department (DFD). Detroit firefighters have ridden the waves of unprecedented prosperity and tragic decline. Determined faces mask many layoffs, station closings, and a reduction in workforce. Despite these perils, dedication and the belief in their city remains a constant among Detroit firefighters. The official Detroit motto, “We hope for better things; it shall rise from the ashes” holds as true today as it did when first uttered over 100 years ago.

Book excerpt: This is the story of one Detroit firefighter. It chronicles the period of Detroit from 1973 through 2007, which was the start of his career. Join us during those tremulous days of unbridled chaos and arson throughout the city. Many journalists and photographers from literally around the world came to witness and photograph this period. The author writes about a dark side of the city’s history—a period of suppressing the truth about the men and women of the DFD who worked with personnel shortages, beat-up equipment, and for a time, inadequate fire protective clothing. The author recognizes that much in Detroit and the Detroit Fire Department has changed for the better.

Book excerpt: "Detroit's reputation among fire departments across the country is that of being the arson capital. No city with a population of at least 300,000 has as many suspicious fires or arsons per capita. The city and the fire department have been through a lot. Bankruptcy was declared, firehouse closures, reduction in manpower of the fire department, maintenance issues with fire vehicles trying to keep them running to respond to the fires they are called to are just some of the issues that Detroit Firefighters faced in addition to responding to fire after fire. This book takes you on the fireground on the streets of Detroit and captures behind the scene moments where firefighters respond to fires risking their lives to battle flames in vacant buildings. Photos show the aggressive actin Detroit Firefighters make to combat these fires. The book shows the faces behind the face piece of the breathing apparatus that they wear when responding to fires daily and putting their lives on the line to defend the city from the enemy called fire."--Jacket.

Download or read book Detroit written by Charlie LeDuff and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An explosive exposé of America’s lost prosperity by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Charlie LeDuff “One cannot read Mr. LeDuff's amalgam of memoir and reportage and not be shaken by the cold eye he casts on hard truths . . . A little gonzo, a little gumshoe, some gawker, some good-Samaritan—it is hard to ignore reporting like Mr. LeDuff's.” —The Wall Street Journal “Pultizer-Prize-winning journalist LeDuff . . . writes with honesty and compassion about a city that’s destroying itself–and breaking his heart.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A book full of both literary grace and hard-won world-weariness.” —Kirkus Back in his broken hometown, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie LeDuff searches the ruins of Detroit for clues to his family’s troubled past. Having led us on the way up, Detroit now seems to be leading us on the way down. Once the richest city in America, Detroit is now the nation’s poorest. Once the vanguard of America’s machine age—mass-production, blue-collar jobs, and automobiles—Detroit is now America’s capital for unemployment, illiteracy, dropouts, and foreclosures. With the steel-eyed reportage that has become his trademark, and the righteous indignation only a native son possesses, LeDuff sets out to uncover what destroyed his city. He beats on the doors of union bosses and homeless squatters, powerful businessmen and struggling homeowners and the ordinary people holding the city together by sheer determination. Detroit: An American Autopsy is an unbelievable story of a hard town in a rough time filled with some of the strangest and strongest people our country has to offer.

Download or read book Forgotten Detroit written by Paul Vachon and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detroiters know their history well. Founded in 1701 by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, the city subsisted on a variety of industries: fur trading, stove building, and, of course, the automobile. Names such as Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh resonate in Detroiters' common memory. Detroit's meteoric rise during the 20th century established the city as an influential leader in commerce, culture, and religion. This growth spawned the development of numerous businesses, organizations, and institutions, many now forgotten. Albert Kahn left his indelible mark. Mary Chase Stratton created a new art form. And Henry Ford II changed the course of his family legacy. Forgotten Detroit delves into the wellspring of history to retell some of these lesser-known stories within Detroit's rich heritage.
