smoke in the ville

[grateful1311.livejournal.com]

A very strong smell of smoke just came through my windows.  I went outside to find quite a bit of smoke moving up Summer St, looked like it could be coming from either Davis or Porter Sq.  A few of my neighbors also came out because they could smell smoke too.  I live on Summer St and I have not heard any sirens.  Anyone got a clue as to where the smoke is coming from??

Joe Lynch is a bright and knowledgeable guy, a lot more on-the-ball than the incumbent he is running against.

But I have no idea whether he's right about this issue, since I rarely walk or ride down those streets.

crazy ticket guy...

that street is a tough street to drive down in a regular car so i cant imagine trying to get a fire truck down there. and i wonder why they dont ticket on that street...i have a parking guy that comes to my street every single night and tickets people without permit parking stickers. I would think a fire lane violation would be more important, but hey, who asked me anyway...

I don't know much about Joe Lynch (obviously), but I thought that the way that the article was written was much more about his wanting to campaign than actual reporting on the fires. That could be a problem of the Herald or one of him calling to crow about this. However, if a fire truck cannot make it down the street, that's a HUGE problem...

I dont know much about Mr Lynch either, but I do know that fire trucks would probably have a tough time getting down a lot of the smallish streets in somerville. i also know that if that if people are known to park illegally on these streets that T&P should probably focus on getting those problem cleared up. Nothing clears a problem up like ticketing people, especially if they are parked in a fire lane...that is a huge fine.

Like I said in an earlier posting, its probably a little more important than the permit parking issue.
