SOLUTIONS
It is quite obvious that the Detroit Fire Department is in need of aid from the budget cuts that have been imposed upon them. There are solutions that have been proposed, but most are not listened to. A solution that makes a lot of sense is mutual aid agreements. Essentially this is that fire departments could and would come and help out in the city when needed. These agreements are very useful in preventing forced mergers between departments. For more information on solutions click here. According to the documentary Burn they firefighters talk heavily about how there needs to be a back up plan for when something breaks or goes out of comission because they can not do their job properly if they do not have the equiptment or resources they need(3). Another thing that is happening in Detroit is the Angels Night campaign. This campaign is in place to help stop the arson fires that are set on devils night. The volunteers called the angels patrol the neighborhoods and look for anyone or anything suspicious that could be related to arsonists. For more on the angels please reference the brief video below.
