Report details
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.
