Renter at 1516 Dorchester shoveled car out throwing snow completely covered fire hydrant. I cleared snow away. How far away should I clear around hydrant?

Very strong smell of smoke all over E 10th Street and State Road 45. It is difficult to tell where it is coming from-- no visible flames from my location-- but it seems unlikely that so much smoke could be generated by a fireplace.
You all need to do something about the homeless camp north of RCA Park. There are vicious dogs and open fires all the time. You all just going to let them burn down all the wooded areas. Why is this okay? You all know about this and do nothing until someone gets hurt or property and woods are destroyed. This is NEGLIGENCE on the part of the city.
Patterson Pointe Senior Residence is a smoke free building, however occupants of unit 410 have been smoking in their apartment since they moved in which was July 2024. The occupants are a man and woman, and they both smoke. I live on the same floor; and at time the hallway is foggy with smoke. It is a fire hazard...the management has been told at least 5 times since July, each time she said she talked to them. They have not stopped...The lease is clear that violation of the smoking policy will result in immediate eviction. Please help us with this problem...thank you
There is an open fire in a homeless camp in the county land north of RCA Park.
Using gas grill on covered front porch like a bunch of doofuses.
There has been a great deal of smoke in the backyard of this property for the last hour+. It smells like they are burning leaves. The house itself is not on fire, nor does it appear to be spreading.
Neighbor burning leaves in backyard at 1034 East Azalea Lane. Aside from the smoke, which is unpleasant, this is a windy day.
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?
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
