Map: Where Fires Happen in Detroit 2015

Back in 2015, Loveland Technologies, now ReGrid, listened to the scanner from January to July and visited hundreds of fires to survey the impact on property and people. There were 2,938 structure damaging fires surveyed with 58% under suspicious circumstances or arson. The hot spots really stood out to me as areas facing high levels of crime and areas on the fringes of population centers in the city.

  1. Wow, this graph on fires in the city of Detroit is both stunning and depressing.

    I grew up in zip code 48210 in the 1950s,60s and 70s, and over the subsequent decades the neighborhoods have been destroyed…..

    There is no recovery from such abandonment ……
