Description:
Smoke coming from trash that has been slowly burning for several days. According to residents, Fire Department comes and put water in trash, but problem has not been eliminated. I was able to see smoke coming from the trash. Looks like trash is wood chips left by someone and they caught in fire. I was able to get this report from a resident in a local health fair. Mains Elementary School is no longer than a block away. I was able to notice kids playing at school and being exposed to the smell. There is also old furniture and kitchen appliances thrown in the empty lot. I was also able to notice that some families use the empty lot to cross from the school to their residence walking. Trash creates a fire hazard if left uncollected.
Administrator Comment: Comite Civico del Valle has forwarded this report to the Imperial County Air Pollution Control District.
