Noon today, live wire on the back on a building due slightly south east of police substation on Grimes. The back end of the building faces the switchyard park parking lot. The wire was love and "cracking" and the back of the house appeared to be scalded.
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.
The neighbor at this location has been burning some kind of wood or other object repeatedly. It is causing consistent health issues for all of us who live at our house nearby. The smoke is so strong that when we walk outside, my mother immediately begins to have coughing fits. We have consulted the neighbor on this issue multiple times, but he continues to burn illegally in his back yard. We cannot see where the fire is, but the smoke comes to our house.
Strong smell of diesel fuel in downtown Bloomington. Smell was most pungent South of 4th Street and Walnut.
Engine No. 5 has a headlight out.
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.
Paint flakes from the live burn, on the driveway, yard, and patio. Spans about half-a-mile, and the neighbor has tested it and found that there is lead in the flakes.
There is a power line in the middle of maxwell and thorton
Strong smell of natural gas.
