Fire, seniors, disabled citizens and homeless — I talked about these terms after a fire occurred near my home on Aug. 24. As a new resident, I wondered how much concern would be shown. I shouldn't have been worried. This is a follow-up to my original letter — and I'm certain as this situation progresses there will be more positive results. I also wrote a letter to the Lodi City Council.

Immediately after my letters to the council and the newspaper, I received replies from two city council members — JoAnne Mounce and Bob Johnson. Johnson came to my house (I wasn't home), inspected the fire area and met with the fire chief. As a result of his meeting, the code enforcement team visited me and examined the entire fire area. They are following up with communication to the proper agencies involved.
