29 Occupied Homes Burned During Detroit Fire Storm

DETROIT (AP) - City officials say preliminary reports show 29 occupied homes were among 71 structures that burned during a series of wind-fed fires that struck a number of Detroit neighborhoods.

Mayor Dave Bing's office said Friday in a release that 50 of the structures have been added to a list for emergency demolition within 30 days. Six were torn down Friday morning.

No injuries were reported Tuesday from the blazes that hit areas across Detroit.

Fire officials earlier said downed power lines may have started eight fires, while two others appeared to be the work of arsonists.

City officials met Friday with DTE Energy Co. representatives and identified arcing wires, illegal electrical hookups and the utility's response to reports of downed wires among issues to be investigated.
