Despite being reported as such, the fire at the Dump that sent smoke billowing on Thursday over our capital, George Town, was not the landfill site on fire.

When the fire crews arrived along Seymour Road (most residents call it Dump Road because it leads to the landfill site), after receiving numerous 911 calls, they found 5 derelict vehicles on fire that were parked near an auto repair garage.

The fire officers got the blaze very quickly under control and praised the people for their prompt 911 calls.

But it wasn’t the Dump!
