Someone is burning wood in an open fire behind the old red brick apartment building at 2nd & Henderson, around 9:15 this morning.
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.
Open burning - fire pit. I could see and smell a cloud of smoke covering my neighborhood 933 w. 6th
Open burning withing the city.
I saw some neighborhood kids playing on what looked like our neighbors' power or phone box units. The kids were jumping and pushing them and pretending (I think?) to get shocked. One kid looked like he was trying to pull one over. I am concerned that they will get hurt or that a fire will start due to the damage. When I went to tell them to stop, they had run off.
Chad Ackerman is a the business owner of Ackerman Auto Detail located at 630 South Patterson Drive. This morning, after coming to work he found that his workplace was full of smoke. This is due to the common occurrence of the homeless population using the space behind his business as a place where they light fires. These fires are uncovered and lead to a very toxic smell. This is a potential danger to the business, employees, customers and city of Bloomington.
Tree growing into gas line area. Not a problem now, but eventually that tree could be good fire wood when it decides to take on the gas line in the future. Also your building has a broken window near side door.
Strong smell of natural gas.
Fire at eagle pointe golf resort last night in kitchen. Employees was told by owner to not call fire department. Please keep me confidential.
