Thanks for painting some of the fire hydrants in Waterman. You missed the one at 7th and Spring St; it's the one covered by vines.

My next door neighbor, Carl James, (at 703 W. 7th Street) burns trash and plastic and Styrofoam in his wood stove. The smoke is heavy, black and acrid. It is polluting the air. I think there must be regulations against burning trash like this. We have asked him not to do this and explained to him that it creates toxins in the air. A group of neighbors chipped in and bought him two ricks of wood recently, but his son took most of it and resold it. We do not know what else to do. Can someone from the City talk to him about this? Thank you.
Neighbors behind us have outdoor fires in a metal pit many nights. I don’t think they’re cooking for 3 or 4 hours. It often smells like they’re burning things other than wood. It smells bad tonight.
Homeless shelter on the B-link. Fires inside and outside of shelter.
homeless shelter on B-link with accelerants shown on the left and trash that has been caught on fire and lots,lots, more trash
homeless camp, fire outside in front of shelter, tree on right has caught fire before, also stove pipe in shelter, called police at noon on the 10th while I was working on a property 214 E Vermilya Ave. but no one showed up, at that time there was an active fire inside and out
tree caught fire at this homeless camp on the B-link There have been fires in this area for at least 6 months. I own the homes that back up to this section of the B-line. My properties and tenants are in danger. I pay you $70,000. a year in property taxes. I expect a clean and safe environment from the city. People are afraid to use the trail. The crime, filth, needles and fires have to stop. This is no longer a clean city and it is far from safe.
