Owner of this home is elderly and impoverished. His only source of heat is burning wood. This tree on city property has branches covering his chimney and we are concerned about the threat of fire. We have reached out to the city forester and the fire dept. Thank you
Residents of this house do open burning frequently in the back yard, even when conditions are very dry. The flames sometimes reach 8-10 feet, putting adjacent houses at risk. They also burn tree stumps in the front yard. Isn’t open burning illegal in Bloomington?
You all need to do something about the homeless camp north of RCA Park. There are vicious dogs and open fires all the time. You all just going to let them burn down all the wooded areas. Why is this okay? You all know about this and do nothing until someone gets hurt or property and woods are destroyed. This is NEGLIGENCE on the part of the city.
Very strong smell of smoke all over E 10th Street and State Road 45. It is difficult to tell where it is coming from-- no visible flames from my location-- but it seems unlikely that so much smoke could be generated by a fireplace.
There are patients on cots lining the back hallways creating a hazard.
Lightning struck a tree. Tree has been slowly glowing from fire on the outside for past 2 hours in the rain. It stopped for a little bit but now it is back. Tree is likely slow burning from the inside.
South of 921 W 9th St, there are two wooden utility poles that are very noticably bent. No wires are yet touching the ground, but they are not far overhead and it seems like the poles will break in the next storm.
Resident burning trash in backyard at 1400 w. 8th. Blue house on north side of road. Please ask them to stop. It's become a regular thing. It's rancid. Pretty sure they are melting plastic wires and other toxic trash.
Residents at 1400 w 8th st, blue house north side of road, regularly burn toxic trash in their back yard. I asked them to stop months ago yet they continue to do so and have a very bad smelling fire going currently. Please ask them to stop doing this. They also seem to have a lot of people living there. Lots of traffic and often 6+ cars regular there in a small house in a small neighborhood . Their current fire is right beside their garage visible from the road and smells very toxic. 7pm and currently burning as I submit this.
