While living at Terra Trace (321 E. 14th St) from 2020-2022 there were a lot of problems but one that should absolutely not be dismissed. I am disappointed that no one seems to realize the seriousness of this. On Aug 17, 2021, my neighbors set their stove on fire. Once I noticed the smoke smell, I went to the hallway to see what was going on and my neighbor explained what happened. They didn't know what to do so I pulled the fire alarm and it did not go off. I had to alert everyone by knocking on their doors to let them know the building wasn't safe and we needed to get out. I was told my claim was false and inaccurate. After some minor internet searches, I found that there was a fire here in 2011 (if I remember correctly) that killed a student. After finding this out, I knew I had to do more. I feel as if this apartment complex needs to be reevaluated for safety of the residents still living there. I will also be willing to provide more information, videos, etc about this incident. Thank you!

This building is missing and has damaged emergency exit signs throughout the complex. Exposed live wires and light fixtures are rampant. The building's emergency system has been beeping an alarm for over two weeks.

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.
