USVI: Bovoni Landfill fire 98 per cent under control
The Virgin Islands Fire and Emergency Medical Services (VIFEMS) has said a fire at the Bovoni Landfill was 98 per cent under control.
VIFEMS said crews continue to actively suppress the fire, which began two days ago.
VIFEMS noted the exercise is complex and could take some time to extinguish.
“We are grateful to the responding firefighters and response crews for their unwavering dedication and tireless efforts in combating this challenging incident. We also appreciate the support and understanding shown by the community during this time. We remain committed to protecting lives, property, and the environment,” said Director Daryl George.
VIFEMS urges people who live near the Bovoni area or will drive past the landfill to exercise caution and follow safety protocols such as wearing a face covering when venturing outside.
