City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #187578

Other:

Other: The neighbor at this location has been burning some kind of wood or other object repeatedly. It is causing consistent health issues for all of us who live at our house nearby. The smoke is so strong that when we walk outside, my mother immediately begins to have coughing fits. We have consulted the neighbor on this issue multiple times, but he continues to burn illegally in his back yard. We cannot see where the fire is, but the smoke comes to our house.

I surveyed the area on the afternoon of 3/21/2024 and no open burning was present at that time. I was not able to look into the back yard of the address in question due to lack of probable cause. In order to facilitate any corrective action we will need to see the violation as it happens, therefore if the incident occurs again please call 911 so that an engine can be sent to the scene and extinguish the fire. This will serve two purposes one the fire will be out and alleviate the smoke and will also create a record that will can be used for future enforcement.

Max - I figure this may be an issue for BFD to address.
