Cause of landfill fire in Richmond under investigation

Firefighters in Richmond say there are no reports of any injuries after a fire at a local landfill.

The fire happened yesterday afternoon at the Eco Waste landfill located at the south end of Williams Road.

Firefighters managed to quickly control the blaze, but it wasn’t an easy task.

There weren’t any sources of water, so it had to be shuttled back and forth to put out the fire.

Investigators are looking into the cause of the blaze, but do not believe it was deliberately set.
