Detroit fire stations flooded with raw sewage, could affect elections

Raw sewage flooded two Detroit fire stations on Sunday, prompting health concerns and fears that the backup could interfere with one of the polling locations during Tuesday’s primary election.

The drains at Engine 52’s quarters at 5029 Manistique St. backed up, flooding the basement with a stomach-churning stench. Plumbers inspecting the problem advised firefighters Monday to get a bio-hazard company to clean up the sludge.

Still, city officials don’t expect interruptions during Tuesday’s election because “the sewage problem is isolated in the basement,” Deputy Fire Commissioner John Berlin said, noting that the quarters’ “engine bay is used as a polling precinct.”

Engine 30’s quarters on Meyers near Florence also backed up with sewage, forcing it to temporarily go out of service at a time when the fire department is dangerously low on working engines and trucks.

Sewage problems are nothing new for Detroit firefighters, who usually pay for repairs and clean up the sludge on their own because the city doesn’t respond quickly enough.
