Haag Bosch landfill fire continues because of fire service negligence

– claims Site Manager

Nearly a week has passed and the Haag Bosch dumpsite fire continues to smoulder and Site Manager Lloyd Stanton says it is because of the negligence of the Guyana Fire Service.
Stanton stated that half of the surface fire was extinguished last week but they ended up right back to ‘square one’ after the fire-fighters began to turn up whenever they felt like.
‘If we were constantly at it this fire would have been out, but the firemen are coming on the site whenever they feel like…look today (Sunday) they didn’t show up,” he said, adding that areas where they had managed to put out were on fire again.
The blaze started last Sunday and is burning through hectares of garbage. The situation is being described as dangerous and has caused operations to cease on the location.
Garbage trucks are still being re-directed to the Lusignan dumpsite on the East Coast of Demerara.
On Sunday, an employee was leaving the premises when he noticed smoke emitting from a section of the garbage dump and he quickly alerted others. Employees had joined forces to put out the flames but were unsuccessful and the situation worsened.
