Update that it's safe for those around Bedford Park to come back. I myself just got home a few mins ago And my cat is safe 🙏

Close your windows they have evacuated the people that need to be evacuated around some of the buildings with their animals outside if they have not told you to evacuate, you should be fine just close all of your windows so the smell doesn’t come in. My friend was evacuated from her building. They’re wearing masks outside, but they did not tell you to evacuate in your house and close all of your windows. That’s what we are doing.

I smell it from my apartment. I was scared it was my stove but when I opened my windows I smelled it outside

It’s a city thing , they wanna start fires to buildings so they can force people out and kick them out so they can make these new buildings for more Section 8 ppl
