Pat, bad news for you. Detroit doesn't burn like it has in the past. There is a strong community outreach as we come up to Halloween and they patrol the streets. Now days there are less fires then during normal times the days prior to Halloween and Devil's night. This has been going on for more then 5 or 6 years now.
