Detroit Fire Commissioner Eric Jones said there will be an investigation into a photo of fire crews posing in front of a burning house.

"There are a lot of ways to celebrate a retirement. Taking a photo in front of a building fire is not one of them," Jones said in a statement.

It was captioned "Crews take a moment to get a selfie on New Years!" but there is no indication of when the photo was taken.

Detroit Fire confirmed that the house seen ablaze in the photo was vacant at the time, as was the building next to it, according to the outlet.

If the photo is verified, disciplinary action will follow, Jones said in the statement.

The Detroit Fire Incidents page on Facebook posted that it removed the photo after receiving messages from firefighters worried about their jobs.

In Detroit they more than likely improved the neighborhood by letting it burn to the ground.

The city literally pays companies to raze abandoned homes and neighborhoods.

This is likely a shitty old abandoned house on an abandoned street that is better off gone.

This is common for training. Non-story. Houses will get donated or cited for demo.

If you speak with a FF once the fire is in the attic, they dont go into the house.

At least, that is how i Understand it.

I don’t think I’d want my neighborhood to fire all of its firemen at once. Seems problematic.

This^ And, I think they use them for training exercises. This is just another example of the social mob hysterics rooting for the worst scenario when deep down they know these firemen did nothing wrong, offensive, or distasteful.
