What fire jobs look like in East English Village
East English Village sits on Detroit's far east side between Mack, Warren and Cadieux, right next to Grosse Pointe Park, with Morningside just to the west. Its streets are some of the most intact on the east side, with brick homes, front porches and mature trees.
Kitchen fires, fireplace problems and furnace puff-backs are the jobs we see most. Many homes still have original plaster, hardwood and leaded glass, which need careful cleaning rather than replacement.
