Does anyone know the origins of the plumes of black smoke near MLK and the Lodge on Saturday afternoon?

We could see it from Park Ave. downtown around 4pm but never saw anything on the news about it.

Don't see any smoke from my perch. There have been a number of fires in the old low-rise projects near that intersection recently.

I rode by there on the bus about a month ago when the first huge fire was raging through the area. I was able to see the smoke rising from Grand River and Woodward. When we rolled by the scene (on the Tireman bus), an entire row of units was engulfed in orange flames...

I drove through there last Wednesday and what a site. Man it's like they are trying to burn every unit down before the bulldozers can knock em down.

It was really depressing to say the least.
