Halloween arson hits Detroit headlines citywide
Devil's Night fires left at least six families homeless as 30,000 volunteers and city workers tried to curb the spree. By Monday night 315 youths faced arrests for the 6 pm to 6 am curfew for those under 18, with two adults and two youths arrested on suspicion of arson. City officials report past totals, noting declines since 1984, while authorities expanded patrols, hot line access, and firefighting resources to contain the blaze.
