Photo Taken: 4/3/1986 991 Gratiot Ave., Detroit, Mich. In April 1986, the Stroh’s Brewery in Detroit became the site of an inferno that would leave a lasting mark on the city’s landscape. Bill was there, camera in hand, as the flames roared, and the sky lit up with the intensity of the blaze. This image, captured during the Stroh’s Brewery fire, is a vivid testament to his skill as a photographer and his unwavering commitment to chronicling the Detroit Fire Department’s heroic efforts. As we reflect on Bill’s 60 years behind the lens, we’re reminded of his incredible ability to transport us to the heart of the action, to make us feel the heat, hear the crackle of flames, and witness the bravery of those who stand between danger and the community they serve. They also make us ask, "How did Bill get that photo?" Join us in celebrating Bill Eisner’s incredible journey and the powerful images that have shaped our understanding of Detroit’s history. 📸🔥 #BillEisnerPhotography #DetroitHistory, #detroitfirefighters, #historicphotos, #photojournalism, #documentinghistory, #iconicimages, #firefighters, #detroitfires, #detroitphotographer, #detroit, #firefightinghistory, #detroiticons, #photographyarchives, #detroithistory

This one’s a #twofortuesday …started thinking about some of the hot rods that inspired me, and ran across #fireiron . If you’re old enough to remember the #tomdaniels model kits from #monogram might remember all of the crazy hot rods they offered, and some that turned into real cars… sounds like something #hotwheels would do these days- (and totally on point!). What red blooded American kid didn’t want to have a hot Rod fire truck BITD?! Always loved the spirit of these TD MONOGRAM kits, so this was my variation on the theme. Of course, who could miss the gold foil panel framing? ;) #hotrod #automotiveart #automotiveartist #detroit #fireiron #hotwheels #hotrodthemes #penandink #doodle #sketch #variationonatheme #engineno5 #detroitfirefighters
