We are smelling wood burning smoke almost every evening and night, sometimes during day time too. The smell is very strong that we have to close our windows until midnight and many times pass midnight. Despite many nightime investigation walks, we couldn't locate the source of the smell. It maybe coming from different houses. During a pandemic that targets respiration system, burning wood for recreational purposes is a hard to understand human behaviour. I suppose there is nothing to do, from a legal perspective, to stop this unreasonable action. But I wonder if an announcement by the City to invite the citizens to behave responsibly would be effective. Thank you for considering.

There has been a smoke alarm going off in a neighboring house since 12:30 Wednesday night. I think it is in her house on the north side of the street of Hunter between Jordan and Highland.

There was a controlled burning of a house that had led paint on it on the corner of Hillside and High St. Found led-based paint on both mine and my in-laws' yard. Fire chief did not seem to care about properly removing the toxic paint.

During my drive home today from work, I noticed a truck at a high rate of speed. The city of Bloomington Fire Department I was doing at least double the speed limit. Every single after each light the high rate of speed was continued. Not a very good example to be setting. And the speed limit is 35 this guy was well over. License plate 55180. This was in Indianapolis on Brookville Road. Just north of where this picture was taken a child was killed in an intersection by speeding car. We need a better example driving our fire department and police vehicles.

The Project School of Bloomington is having a performance at the MCPL tonight, in their auditorium of sorts. The school previously encouraged parents to let their children sit in the aisles in lieu of seats(or in laps) to account for how packed they would be. At the performance, there are indeed children sitting in the aisle and making an emergency exit a lot more dangerous than it should be. Perhaps the occupancy limit hasn’t been reached, but it doesn’t seem ok for this to happen, especially considering they dim the lights and the only exits are down those stairs.

JB Salvage. Looks like illegal burning. Smells like plastic/rubber.
