Fire Under Control

There was a fire at Bovoni landfill yesterday as a pile of cars burned for hours. It burned most of the day and involved all active and off duty fire fighters. It sent a plume of smoke so high that people from Hull bay called to ask about it. Public works says that nothing toxic is burning despite the thick smoke, it is not toxic materials.
