| At approximately 1255 hrs on Wednesday July 7th a signal 12 was transmitted at the former Town of Huntington Landfill located adjacent to the Covanta Energy Plant on Townline Road.
Upon arrival we were met with a large area of brush involved in fire and spreading rapidly.
Mutual aid requests were initiated immediately.
Three challenges faced during operations were exposures to private dwellings on McFadden Drive, Thrush Court, Arleigh Drive and the 5th Avenue extension; Methane gas from the landfill fueling the fire; and 100 degree temperatures with high levels of humidity during operations.
