Burning in backyard
Burning in backyard
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.
There is a cable hanging down from the power line pole. It crosses the Walmart entrance off of Leonard Springs Rd.
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.
Burning a lot of wood in open fire outside.
There is a power/phone line hanging less than 5ft off the ground. I have witnessed MANY children reach up and grab ahold of it.
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.
Unattended smoldering cooking fire, presumably the morning after.
Strong smell of diesel fuel in downtown Bloomington. Smell was most pungent South of 4th Street and Walnut.
POWER LINES HERE ARE SHORTED AND **THROWING SPARKS**. We have reported this to Duke and they have chosen to ignore it instead of restoring AC to Vinergar Hill houses.
