For once, it’s not Detroit that’s burning. 

A copywriter at Commonwealth/McCann’s Detroit location took a peek out his office window this morning and saw something startling. 

Alex Altman snapped this picture of what appears to be a massive fire blazing on the shores of Canada. 

Altman posted it on his Facebook and a couple friends commented that they could see the smoke from as far away as Southfield and others said they could smell it in their office. 

According to a clickondetroit.com article, Le Chef Restaurant, at 840 Wyandotte St. in Windsor, is the source of the blaze. It appears that firefighters are working to extinguish the blaze.

Have something to share?
