Now how did that happen
The city needs to check power line areas and clear all its debris around it. You have workers; utilize them and pay them. Create more jobs if necessary. I’ve driven by and have an alley and have been complaining for months to the city regarding debris and power line safety as our yard caught fire 2 years ago. Still nothing has been done as overgrowth from a yard is yet again about to trigger a hazardous power line fire/ outage..AGAIN! Guess we’ll make the news eventually but this time, they have to deal with my home owners insurance and pay out/ buy out so thanks in advance Baltimore City.
