A series of dispatches shows how a simple call from a passerby for smoke in the area can evolve into a 3-alarm commercial structure fire. Unfortunately the frequency they were operating on was not being picked up by the Broadcastify feed, but we still were able to go back and get the dispatches because they were broadcasted on the main fire channel for the county. If you see smoke coming from a building, call 911. Whoever made that original call might have just saved the fire from becoming bigge

Beautiful tribute to those heroes over at the City Of Detroit Fire Department, Detroit EMS...or DEMS as it's commonly referred to here. The media often pay tribute to Firefighters and Police Officers, as we do, but here at the The Detroit Scanner, we're like a full service first responder buttkisser shop. We don't play favorites, they're all held in high esteem...every single one of them. We're incredibly proud some members of DEMS have found this stupid little page worthy of their attention. Kn
