Burning in backyard
Burning in backyard
I was shopping in the dollar tree store the other day and there was boxes all over the floor in the aisle ways. There was uboats also all over the store making it hard to shop. I passed by the stock room and the doors where propped open and I could see the boxies where stacked almost to the ceiling and where falling all over the place. I could see that the back door was also blocked by uboats and boxies.
There is a cable hanging down from the power line pole. It crosses the Walmart entrance off of Leonard Springs Rd.
Tenant using fire pit to burn trash in their backyard inside city limits: 2521 S Rogers St. Previous tenant burned a lot of stuff before they moved. The new tenant must think it's ok also.
Burning a lot of wood in open fire outside.
There is a power/phone line hanging less than 5ft off the ground. I have witnessed MANY children reach up and grab ahold of it.
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.
Unattended smoldering cooking fire, presumably the morning after.
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.
