I was burning leaves today, unaware of the city policy. The fire department came to my house, kindly asked me to extinguish the fire, and informed me about our policy. Even though I had done wrong, they were kind and helpful, which made it a pleasant learning experience for me. I love that in a town this size, people are so friendly and positive. Thank you city of Bloomington.
My next door neighbor, Carl James, (at 703 W. 7th Street) burns trash and plastic and Styrofoam in his wood stove. The smoke is heavy, black and acrid. It is polluting the air. I think there must be regulations against burning trash like this. We have asked him not to do this and explained to him that it creates toxins in the air. A group of neighbors chipped in and bought him two ricks of wood recently, but his son took most of it and resold it. We do not know what else to do. Can someone from the City talk to him about this? Thank you.
To whom it may concern, I am not sure who I should address my question to, so please forward this question to the correct person. I am getting married on May 3, 2014. At the end of our ceremony, we would like to go outside and release paper lanterns to float off into the sky. It dawned on me that I should ensure this idea is permissible within city limits. Please let me know ASAP. Thank you.

I believe it started night of Tues 3/29/22 or Wednesday 3/30/22. 1261 S Adams has a malfunctioning fire system. It will go off at random intervals for a couple minutes up to 15 minutes at a time at all hours. The building has been losing sleep and the apartment has failed to correct it as of 4/1/22 at 9:20pm. I've been trying to call the admin office of the fire dept all day with no luck. My concern is, is the fire system even working and what happens if there is a real fire. We have a questionable system the apartment complex cant give me an answer if its actually going to work in an emergency. I called their after hours maintenance guy last night and apparently he lives 30 minutes away. I do not feel this complex is on top of fire safety and is not putting the wellbeing of its residents first.
A large piece of garden row cover is stuck to the top of a utility poll on the SW corner of Waldron and 6th.
This residence have a barrel in front of their 2 car garage and will occasionally burn debris causing smoke. At times, when this occurs, the smell is very unpleasant.
