“Darnedest thing I have ever seen in my career”, says Ypsilanti Fire Chief Jon Ichesco. Ichesco was surveying the damage from a car fire that occurred on Wednesday afternoon in the 500 block of West Michigan Avenue.

Ichesco didn’t have to go very far from his office to the scene of the fire, neither did the firefighters. It was all of about 50 feet from the station doors to the car fire.
