Live fires nightly with noxious fumes all night every night, at least since the last weekend on May. Squatters camp seems well-established with bicycle parking, wood pile, several tents. Can fire trucks even get back there in a timely fashion? We feel unsafe. There is a difference between homeless, itinerants, and squatters. These appear to be squatters.
Response to 189024 -- If the fires are happening daily at the homeless camp along the Rail Trail, and the fire department (MFPD) has been out twice this month, yet the fires continue, why would there not be an option to take some level of preventative enforcement action as opposed to reactive only that is not solving the underlying issue? This would be a daily call to 911 if people in the area called every time there was a large, illegal fire. Is that the best use of resources, as opposed to the City cleaning the area up, removing those illegally burning on City property, and preventing any future fires from being started by those illegally camping on the property? The City refuses to address the problem, the county has to roll a truck out here due to the City's inaction, and the adjacent property owners suffer. All to protect illegal activity!
Gasoline leaking from a parked truck
Neighbors at 904 S Westhill st Bloomington Were burning brush last night May 9th. The whole neighborhood was smoky and smelled until at least Nin Oclock. I worry they will continue.
Hello, I have concern about the back row of apartments at The Crossing on Pete Ellis. There is limited space (about 3 feet) between the wooden patio fences and forest area. People smoke and throw cigarettes over balconies. Maintenance workers also smoke during the day. Currently they are working on painting indoor at some apartments, painting outdoor hallways and working on patios. Could you please help ensure safety of the residents? Thank you.
There's a trail runs along the back of the fields apartment complex. at the southern end of this trail by a pond there's often a strong smell of gas leak.
Unusual smell in the neighborhood this evening. Smells like some sort of petroleum distillate (which is why we're concerned = flammable?). Noticed not long after a train passed by. Went back near the tracks and it is strong there, but still very evident out front, on the street. persistent for the past hour or so.
Smoldering fire in the backyard of 1336 Allendale Drive, South East corner of Allendale and Dunstan Dr. It's been burning for a week -10 days. Vigorous smoke at times, causing neighbors to have to go inside and close windows, causes respiratory distress
Tenant using fire pit to burn trash in their backyard inside city limits: 2521 S Rogers St. Previous tenant burned a lot of stuff before they moved. The new tenant must think it's ok also.
Homeless shelter on the B-link. Fires inside and outside of shelter.
