Four firefighters left at landfill blaze site
Four firefighters remain at the Cayman landfill to carry out damping down operations on part of the site, government officials have said.
The government said the team was conducting “saturation of an area of concern on the north side as part of ongoing monitoring and final suppression efforts” and that the fire was “largely extinguished”.
Officials added that a health check sweep of areas affected by clouds of thick and toxic smoke after the blaze broke out on Thursday, April 16 had been carried out.
The checks turned up no one that required treatment, but a joint team of health staff, regiment troopers and police had given people advice on how to get medical treatment if needed. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
