Photos from Scene of Detroit Fire with Hazmat

Ian Kushnir of Double Deuce Fire Images (doubledeucefire.smugmug.com) provided several shots from a large fire in Detroit yesterday that involved hazardous materials.

There were no reported injuries in the fire, which occurred at a chemical manufacturer. Employees reported that they mixed chemicals, causing a reaction and explosion. The fire forced the evacuation of surrounding homes and a nearby elementary school.
