From Cayman Islands Fire Service

During checks this morning (Monday 24 Sep) at the South Sound site, fire officers noted four hot spots. These were marked, and are currently being dug out and cooled.

Officials explain that as the smouldering areas are not progressing into fully developed fires, there is no naked flame and very little smoke issuing from the area. As such, the situation poses no risk to members of the public or surrounding properties.

The Cayman Islands Fire Service continues to monitor the situation and is liaising with the site owners.

A fire safety inspector has visited the site and carried out inspections. A report will be presented to the site owners in due course.
