Blittle, we've got a few of those places around here, I've never gone because I'm not a fan of trespassing nor getting sick from mold.

There is a old place in Pontiac that was tore down. We post in the area. They built condos where it used to be. The condos keep catching in fire where the main building used to be. And a lady was murdered in one of them. Creepy area.

Pontiac? My lil brother was there last week doing training on an electronic charting system that the company he works for builds and installs.

He walked 5 blocks to a gas station in the middle of the night for a drink and cigarettes and the hospital staff said he was nuts for doing it.

He said the place was a crap hole.

Yea I wouldn't walk anywhere alone at night lol not as bad as Detroit but still pretty bad. I work for a private company that does the 911 calls. And the fire department closed in February and was taken over by a neighboring city.

Yeah the hospital staff said the same- dont go anywhere off the property. Dumb one just had to have smokes. He's a stubborn soldier with no fear and a touch of crazy.

M59 is hall road up there. I've got a buddy in New Baltimore.
Pontiac does suck, people say Detroit is bad, I've never had any issues when I used to do some work there.
Mich ave. & 22nd (south west Detroit)

Smoking is bad anyways.

 

[shfd739]

No kidding lol. Trying to get him to quit. Along with losing his post deployment beer belly.

No luck on either so far.

By that you meant anything south of Ohio/Michigan border and north of Michigan state line right? Haha

Well you said your brother was here last week, so it sounds like you're not from here, which means my suspicion was wrong and you don't work for Sterling Heights FD. :unsure:

Our county parole board and some other local agencies are based in a similar place. In high school we used to have cross country practice in there since it had some good hills, that ended when a kid was hit by a security card driving too fast around a blind corner (he was not hurt). Creepy place, but it's now "secured" because of the asbestos risk. That makes them too expensive to tear down, so eventually when it catches fire it'll burn. Another one of them went up during a project to make the main building into condos.

(credit)

We've got one of those around here. Old State Hospital, now closed. 1 of the buildings is used by a Juvenile offender rehab place. Another used to be used for a Juvenile sex-offender program - that building is now empty. The local Intermediate Unit has one of the buildings - but most of them are closed up. Since it's in our First Due, I make sure to include it on the route when I'm out driver training. It's a little freaky driving around the place in broad daylight. At night, it's just plain creepy.

There's another old state hospital that has been turned into a haunted house for the Halloween season. From what I hear, it's REALLY freaky.

You guys don't remove taser darts?

I totally thought I was going to get to watch pd taze someone last night but it didn't happen

Nope. The hospital has to call some kind of "specialist". PD will normally "remove" them "gently".

 

[Anjel]

I have no idea what the protocol is on that.

I'm sure no one would of cared if I did.

It's a basic skill in most services that I know of.

Medic Tim Congrats!!

Where is the new job? Oil Sands?

I have several friends working there and more co-workers leaving every week or so it seems.

Thank you
Yes it is out in the oil sands. Our company just lost 5 or 6 ACPs to out west in the last couple weeks. Considering there are only 25 or so of us licensed here, that is a lot.
