Large brush fires in woods at 2408 Shadow Grove Ct. this occurred last night and is in process now. Need to call 911 for an immediate response. Fire is currently out
Burning a lot of wood in open fire outside.
Reserve on Third property management is refusing to fix ovens that catch fire, fire alarms that continuously go off and just tell residents to hit the silence button and electric is coming and going - shorting out. This is after multiple complaints for almost 2 years. Particularly building 11 as I can not speak for all, but I feel that inspections need to happen for resident safety.
Burning smell occurring repeatedly in the evenings near White Oak Cemetery- smells like burning trash. Do not know the source of this but hoping BFD could begin monitoring the situation.
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.
McDonald’s on east side has an exit door locked from inside
There is a cable hanging down from the power line pole. It crosses the Walmart entrance off of Leonard Springs Rd.
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.
Large items blocking stairway on deck.
In the alley between 909 and 911 S Madison St., a property owner (909) is running an electrical line (extension cord) from their home across the alley to send power to an above ground pool. The wiring lays across hot asphalt and is covered by old carpets. This is an unsafe method for provide electricity to a separate property, and poses risks of fire in the neighborhood.
