In 1969 the Rouge River burned. 50 years and more than a billion dollars later, life has returned to the water
In 1969, a worker on the Rouge River dropped his torch into the water. The flame ignited oil from an accidental spill from the nearby Shell refinery by the I-75 overpass. It lit the river on fire - and hardly anyone cared. Now, 50 years later, with the aid of thousands of volunteers, the cooperation of hundreds of groups and more than a billion dollars, the restoration of the river and its watershed has become a paradigm for how others should clean their polluted rivers.

Clint Washington Jr. a 33-year-old man from Harrison Township is charged with several felonies after police tried to pull Washington over in the area of 16 Mile and Jefferson.
