NIBONG TEBAL: Hot weather is believed to have caused a fire at the Pulau Burung landfill here this afternoon, Penang Local Government, Town and Country Planning Committee chairman H’ng Mooi Lye says, adding that the situation was under control thanks to firefighters.
The fire that occurred at around 12.05 pm yesterday involved an area of 3,500 square metres and the situation was under control as of 11 pm, but firefighters and rescuers were still on site to monitor the situation.
MBSP also created fire-breaks to surround the fire, which was brought under control at around 5.23 pm.
“The next course of action is to cover the area with red earth while prolonged hot weather is believed to have been the cause of the fire,” he says.
A total of 117 firefighters, including volunteer firefighters, around Seberang Perai and 42 MBSP personnel were involved in fighting the fire.
