This should have been reported to 203 946-6316. City of New Haven please inform people how to use this site or close it down. You do not report fires on See Click Fix.

This is not only about the fires it’s about the gatherings and trash left behind.. the fires are in addition to the ongoing problems at the harbor

Call the police

I should have posted that fires should be reported to 911. City please do something about people posting fires and other safety

I called the police and was informed that they did not see any smoke and would look into this. If this was a false report there may be ramifications.

It has come to this reporting fires on a message board if there is one.

How would you like it if your house was burning and someone reported it on See Click Fix?

Yee-haw!!! It looks like fun for some. Come on folks. If it were a real emergency, someone would call the cops; Let's all take a chill pill and laugh at the non-emergency.

I’d be thrilled it was reported in any capacity

There were fires the fire department was here and there is a NO OPEN FIRE law in New Haven. They had them put the fires out with a warning..
Just to clear the air again.. this is an ongoing trash issue.. people fish here and leave tremendous amounts of trash behind. As a community WE have cleaned the trash up, now with Covid 19 it’s more repugnant to pick up someone’s half eaten dinner, beer cans or snips..
There is a restriction on large gatherings, along with fishing in a restricted area, leaving trash behind, now there are large groups.. so yes it’s a big issue.

This is Alder Rodriguez I've placed a call to the NHPD and awaiting their arrival.

I’ve called the police they got me in touch with the fire department, all is good.
One thing I’d like to say is whether or not this should’ve been posted here, there’s been a great response from our community, mostly supportive and helpful. So thank you!!
I for one would like to see this community pull together and create a safe and beautiful place that I know it can be. This area has great potential as does the rest of the city.

I’ve made the call it’s all taken care of, thank you!!

Rick
Thank you for calling but it would have best if you called as soon as you saw this because you knew the situation and would have been able to answer any questions the city may have had. After calling you can post to alert others and to have a record it was called in. Also it would get the community involved.

I don’t know what your issue is.. the picture posted here is a fire that was either just put out, or was smoldering. There was no need to call. What got my attention was the incredible amount of smoke I could smell on Sea st. The closer I got to my unit the area was dense with smoke and coming into our building.I posted it because this is happening on a regular basis on the harbor your comments are counterproductive in getting the neighborhood alerted to the misuse and abuse of public property.
WHEN the fire became active I called the police department for direction,

You shouldn't wait until a smoldering fire because active to call 911. Ask someone on the fire department what should have been done in this situation.. You also can call See Click Fix 800 369-9060 on Monday and ask them. You can alert the neighborhood.by posting after you call.

Rick: Thanks for reporting and taking the initiative!!

" this is an ongoing trash issue.. people fish here and leave tremendous amounts of trash behind"

The entire City is a real dump. There is no enforcement, and it's politically incorrect to talk about it. Edgewood Park in my area is a complete mess. People drop garbage even though garbage cans are a few feet away. It's done deliberately and people get away with it bc New Haven has no enforcement.

Thank you Our New Haven and thank you for seeing behind what the call was about.
I think we have to take the initiative and be consistent to change the city. I’m not interested in political correctness, I’m interested in restoring New Haven. There are pockets of areas that are working toward doing that, unfortunately it’s not consistent.

Thanks for letting us know about this concern and the constructive community dialog.

This concern has prompted a cross-departmental focus on this area and the city is looking into ways to address the gatherings and clean up the mess.
We strongly encourage everyone to check out the city’s crisis hub at https://covid19.newhavenct.gov/ where you’ll find all current information about COVID-19 in New Haven.
