Over the weekend, tenants had a bonfire on the NW corner of the building directly underneath power/utility lines. Probably illegal, but more important it was dangerous.
I smell a campfire in the vicinity near the fence on the north boundary of the park.
Today I visited the Dollar Tree on the East side. I was there around 2pm. The store had multiple aisles overcrowded with boxes of stock needing unpacked. One aisle in general was completely full from one end to the other. This is the aisle in the photo. Other aisles had boxes on carts throughout and had a path to weave through. I understand that they are understaffed but this felt very unsafe. If there was a fire I do believe it could be difficult to get through the store to get out. It felt unsafe. I'm not sure if it is considered a fire hazard but in case it is I wanted to let you know about it.
Smells like gas
Large tree branch broke due to wind. Branch is on top of and pulling down power lines
Unattended smoldering cooking fire, presumably the morning after.
Owner of this home is elderly and impoverished. His only source of heat is burning wood. This tree on city property has branches covering his chimney and we are concerned about the threat of fire. We have reached out to the city forester and the fire dept. Thank you
Residents of this house do open burning frequently in the back yard, even when conditions are very dry. The flames sometimes reach 8-10 feet, putting adjacent houses at risk. They also burn tree stumps in the front yard. Isn’t open burning illegal in Bloomington?
Neighbor burning leaves in backyard at 1034 East Azalea Lane. Aside from the smoke, which is unpleasant, this is a windy day.
