DETROIT (WXYZ) — A large Detroit building that houses many community programs is currently closed after a burst pipe overnight flooded the building.
Franklin Wright Settlements, located along Woodward Ave. just north of Grand Blvd., is a nonprofit that features a variety of programs, including after-school care, counseling, a teen center, therapy and much more.

Ahmad Nassar, the VP of Franklin Wright Settlements, told us that around 3 a.m., he received a call from a monitoring company of an alarm in the building.
He said he came to check it out and saw water gushing out of the building.
He said there is water throughout the 87,000-square-foot facility after the pipe burst in the sprinkler room. He said they are waiting for the water department to come and shut off the water valve before they can inspect.

Nassar said the building will be closed today, and they "need the community to give us a big hug."
