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.

Hello,
I own 1112 S Madison St. The electric supply line to my house runs overground, underneath the limbs of a large oak tree. This is a safety hazard as falling limbs may easily down the line and thus set my house on fire.
I've been in communication with Duke energy since February in an attempt to have the supply line put underground. Duke says that ATT first needs to replace the utility pole where my supply line originates. They wouldn't touch the line before the pole is replaced.
I have reported the issue to ATT and requested for the pole to be replaced more than two months ago. ATT is not doing anything about it. My contact person, Randy, originally said it would happen within two weeks, and when I called him again a month later he was surprised that it hadn't happened yet. Two weeks later, again nothing has happened.
My contact people at Bryan at Duke (812 947 3282) and Randy at ATT (317 966 4152).
What can I do when these corporations are unresponsive and not taking steps to replace the pole or put my supply line underground? It is a hazard and needs to be addressed, and I am frustrated by the lack of response or initiative by ATT and DUKE.
Thanks,
Vera Flocke

Hello, I work at Teach and Play ABA and it’s owned by Sara Shrivastav. She sent us an email in regards to the fire safety issues that she was made aware of and she hasn’t any intentions of making changes as of right now. I’m concerned because we’ve already had a fire in the facility and it was very poorly handled. I’m worried for the safety of myself, coworkers and children at the facility. She wrote us an email saying we are not allowed to let you in the building and it’s just very concerning to me. She has already opened two more facilities and they also don’t have sprinklers or fire alarms and I ultimately just want to make sure we’re in a safe environment. I’m also not sure if it’s structurally sound. She did a lot of the remodeling by herself so if there’s anyway someone could check that and make sure things are up to standard because she had mercury lightbulbs which caused the first fire, I would really appreciate that. Thank you for taking the time to address my concerns regarding this matter.
