Yucca Mesa fire crews responded to a fire at the Landers landfill shortly before 4 p.m. Tuesday. When firefighters arrived, they found about a half-acre of trash burning at the landfill. Due to the proximity of the fire to BLM land, firefighters with the Bureau of Land Management also responded. Crews worked on knocking down the fire and keeping it from spreading into the nearby vegetation. After about an hour, the fire scene was turned over to Burrtec employees, who used a water truck and heavy equipment to suppress the fire. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
