Another fire at former Columbia city landfill

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Another fire has been reported at a former city landfill north of Columbia.

The Columbia Daily Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/Q6pNEH) that firefighters have been battling another grass fire Wednesday at the former site of the Columbia municipal landfill, which is south of Finger Lakes State Park. The site has burned several times over the past week.

Boone County Fire Protection District Chief Scott Olsen says buried trash at the former landfill has been smoldering and continues to start fires. He says the fires will likely continue until the weather cools.
