Time for Transformation Tuesday! While this property will still be a work in progress, it is an example of why junk and debris in a yard can be a hazard. Junk and debris can not only be an eye sore in a neighborhood and invite unwanted pests, it also can be a fire danger. In this case, a fire broke out on this property and due to the amount of junk and debris, the fire spread quickly. After the fire, abatement took place with the great coordination between the City Fire Department and Code Enforcement. Take a look at the before, after and aerial photo of the property.
