I don't think that it will harm the Packard production, however it is a shame to loose an historic plant.

Fire trucks can't get close to forest fires either, but they seem to be able to put them out. If it's a matter of human safety, then let it burn. Personally, I say the city has no interest in saving an abandoned, albeit historic, building.

Supposedly the license to the name keeps getting passed around to ambitious but under-finded industrialists.

You wouldn't want to put a fire crew within the collapse zone of a large building (1-1/2 times the height) for the safety of the crew and the apparatus ("truck") itself. Rescue would be another story, but no one wants to risk life safety for a building.



From what I've seen the Detroit Fire Department is one of the best. I'd love to save the plant, but I would not want to see a firefighter lose his/her life to do it.
