I smell a campfire in the vicinity near the fence on the north boundary of the park.
The Woods at Latimer apartment complex has smoke detectors in units that are up to 10 years expired. Included photo are ones removed from our unit. Maintenance claims to only replace them when residents request, since "they still work" and "It's easier to leave old ones up than go into every unit and put new ones in". When batteries in these expired ones died, we alerted maintenance and they said to take them out and just "not start a fire" overnnight, as they would be out to replace them in the morning since it wasn't considered an emergency to not have working smoke detectors in the unit.
Large items blocking stairway on deck.
Exit light out
I am an employee at Brother's bar and grill. The past few times I've worked the door and we reached maximum capacity, my manager rolled back the occupancy counter to falsify our current occupancy to allow in more customers than is safe. He also has us stack trash and cardboard in front of emergency exits. I am concerned for the safety and well being of staff and patrons.
Transformer buzzing and smoking
For several nights now large fireworks have been shot off near Smith and 3rd it sounds like in evenings
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
This is related to Ureport 192446. Again tonight, a toxic smoke infiltrated the Near Westside neighborhood, emanating from the unhoused encampment. The whole story is at the 192446 ureport. Please continue to try to stop them from burning.
