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.

Response to 189024 -- If the fires are happening daily at the homeless camp along the Rail Trail, and the fire department (MFPD) has been out twice this month, yet the fires continue, why would there not be an option to take some level of preventative enforcement action as opposed to reactive only that is not solving the underlying issue? This would be a daily call to 911 if people in the area called every time there was a large, illegal fire. Is that the best use of resources, as opposed to the City cleaning the area up, removing those illegally burning on City property, and preventing any future fires from being started by those illegally camping on the property? The City refuses to address the problem, the county has to roll a truck out here due to the City's inaction, and the adjacent property owners suffer. All to protect illegal activity!

Live fires nightly with noxious fumes and firefighters cannot access behind my home in event of an emergency. Please come see the situation fir yourself. It's dangerous. We are unsafe due to people squatting on public property yet allowed to break the law with open fires, territorial dogs, shouting and cursing all day, using the forest for a toilet.... Please come see. Help us property owners especially with 4th of July coming up. In case of fire or emergency, services have no access. That is simply unacceptable. Please help.

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
