Noble41's video: Garbage Fire at Robin Hood Bay Landfill Tuesday April 7 2020

Crews with St. John's Regional Fire Department and the City of St. John's fought for hours to contain and extinguish an overnight garbage fire at Robin Hood Bay landfill. SJRFD Platoon Chief Dean Foley said that at about midnight they received a call from on-site security reporting a fire.  Crews from Kent's Pond Fire Station, Kenmount Station, and a water tanker from Paradise Station all responded to the fire, which was roughly 75 metres square. With the assistance of City of St. John's employees, who used heavy equipment to bury the burning garbage, the blaze was declared under control nearly six hours after the initial response.
