Firefighters in Detroit are reportedly “bracing” for another series of Devils Nights this Halloween after the city decided to end its annual volunteer-led anti-arson campaign, called Angels Night, according to a fire official. The decision to end Angels Night and replace it with a more celebratory community event, dubbed ‘Halloween in the D,’ was announced by the city late last year. "Quite frankly, there just isn't the fire activity anymore to justify this kind of mass mobilization,'' Fire Chief Eric Jones told the Free Press last November. "While the city will not be organizing community patrols, many of the city's established citizens patrols have indicated they still plan to have an active presence in neighborhoods this year," said John Roach, a spokesman for the city.
