Box Alarm Gunston and Maiden

10/31/11 Detroit, MI - 16:30hrs While buying supplies at the CVS at Gratiot and Conner we noticed a column of smoke rising in the distance. 1st due companies were off on rehab. Engine 46 was dispatched for a reported pole fire. We arrived first due to find a dwelling going. This would extend to a second dwelling before the arrival of the box alarm.
