For the third day now, Nevinnomyssk firefighters have been unable to cope with a fire at a landfill that broke out in the immediate vicinity of a local cemetery. The situation is under control of the governor.

Not far from the Nevinnomyssk city cemetery, a landfill has been burning for the third day in a row.

According to the mayor, the cause of the fire has not yet been determined. Currently, firefighters continue to fight the fire: the flames are doused with water and covered with soil.

“The solid waste landfill continues to take measures to limit the oxygen to the source of smoldering by backfilling a section of the landfill,”
