Guam - There's a new plan to attack the fire at the illegal dump fire in Yigo. Smithbridge has offered to assist the government as the underground deep-seeded fire that started last week Wednesday continues to burn. The company is donating significant stockpiles of backfill material as officials work to suffocate and cap the fire.
More than a dozen truckloads were thrown over the dump blaze this afternoon, and this operation will continue through the weekend. If the fire is not snuffed out, a reassessment will be conducted on Monday.
