21/11/2016 A general load of waste delivered late on Monday afternoon to the tipface spontaneously commenced burning early that same evening. Approximately an hour after the load commenced burning DFES responded to a call from the public and attended the site to deal with the fire. Due to the knowledge and fire fighting equipment available to the Mindarie Regional Council, MRC’s staff were able to also respond and assist the fire brigade in their efforts. No damage or injury occurred to any person as a result of this event, however it demonstrates the importance of disposing of waste correctly.
