There is a large/full/mature mulberry tree hanging over power lines, utility lines, cable and telephone wires. The tree is specifically at the edge of the alley entering Jackson St from the property address listed above. In storms the branches bounce off the power lines and causes a lot of sparks. Cars are parked very close to this and concern is of fire or tearing down the power lines if a branch were to fall. Recommending a thorough cut back of large branches back to mid alley. Duke came out to trim some small branches, but didn't resolve the problem.
Unattended smoldering cooking fire, presumably the morning after.
Fire hazard at exhaust hood terminal. Excessive grease reported with combustible construction and window openings within 10 feet.
Noon today, live wire on the back on a building due slightly south east of police substation on Grimes. The back end of the building faces the switchyard park parking lot. The wire was love and "cracking" and the back of the house appeared to be scalded.
Burning a lot of wood in open fire outside.
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.
There is a cable hanging down from the power line pole. It crosses the Walmart entrance off of Leonard Springs Rd.
I was shopping in the dollar tree store the other day and there was boxes all over the floor in the aisle ways. There was uboats also all over the store making it hard to shop. I passed by the stock room and the doors where propped open and I could see the boxies where stacked almost to the ceiling and where falling all over the place. I could see that the back door was also blocked by uboats and boxies.
I have detected ground fault issues in 7 of my 14 outlets in the residence, apartment 25. And I detected numerous ground fault issues in apartment 29 as well. My cat found this issue on the night of September 6 after scent spraying a power outlet. The breaker failed to prevent an overload, a fire started, and I had to manually throw the breaker myself to kill power to the malfunctioning outlet. I believe the landlord is cognizant of the issue as one of the 3 replaced outlets was never discussed as damaged or of issue.
