Corito Landfill Fire: Anguilla’s Fire and Rescue Service says the huge blaze at Corito Landfill (started July 25) is now contained, but burning tyre piles are still producing intense heat and smoke, with suppression expected to continue for several days; residents are urged to stay clear while essential vehicles and waste contractors only are allowed to deposit waste.
