DETROIT (WXYZ) â Itâs just been a nightmare, said Kristin Martines. This has been the worst week of my entire life.â
Standing outside her home on the west side of Detroit, Martines reflects on what she just lost. Everything her family owned is now in a dumpster in the front yard, destroyed by smoke, water and fire. My neighbor, lady across the street called me and said your house is on fire, and I busted out in tears and said this canât be happening, Martines said.
