Fire Hazards

Case Date:
6/14/2024

Live fires nightly with noxious fumes all night every night, at least since the last weekend on May. Squatters camp seems well-established with bicycle parking, wood pile, several tents. Can fire trucks even get back there in a timely fashion? We feel unsafe. There is a difference between homeless, itinerants, and squatters. These appear to be squatters.

There is an encampment to the east of Somersbe along the access road that runs parallel to Rogers Road that is hazardous and toxic. Earlier in the summer this was reported anonymously for fear of retaliation. Apparently 3 entities own the property - the city, county, and a railroad. All that has happened so far to address this problem is a huge dumpster being moved to the access road and MORE people moving to the encampment when Switchyard Park was cleared. I am sending a plea for clean up. I am not representing specific people in the Somersbe neighborhood, but alerting your office to the issues that have been discussed. This morning open fires were burning along the access road. There is garbage, human and animal waste, unleaded dogs, along with illegal camping sites. At the beginning of June 2024 police were called because of a disturbance including threats of murder, and the fire department was called because of all the smoke. Our backyards are no longer safe, it is difficult to sleep with open windows or be in our yards or on our decks because of the smoke, screaming, and safety of being chased. This apparently happened to at least 2 residents this summer. A dumpster does not equate to crisis management. It is difficult to communicate when we have to do it anonymously for fear of retribution. I am not being redundant, I am providing documentation.

Letting of bottle rockets over my house. He did it last year and I told him I didn't appreciate them on my roof, yard and truck. Yellow house north side side of Custer street. He has even drove a launching pipe into the ground. I really don't want to deal with it this year. I hate to call the police. What can I do?

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.

Hi Team, My name is Jane and I was researching prevention of house fires after having one in my home. I am emailing you because I came across your website at: http://www.bloomington.in.gov/documents/viewDocument.php?document_id=2212 Firstly, thank you, I found your website very useful. I have also written a page that may be worth adding to your site. It's a guide I decided to write about the prevention of fires with a fun section for kids too. I have posted it at: http://householdquotes.co.uk/keep-safe-from-fire/ I would love to know what you think. Kind Regards, Jane
