What firefighters call “a large fire” at the Deloro landfill site on Pine Street South Sunday night brought them out from four stations.
The initial alarm was for visible black smoke in the area at about 7:00pm.
Waste operators helped the firefighters and their tankers fight the flames with their heavy equipment. The fire was under control by 8:30pm.
The incident gives the fire department an opportunity to remind us to stay away from emergency scenes. In cases like this, increased traffic becomes a hazard for tankers hauling in water.
