Fire At Lawrence Station Landfill Causes Temporary Shutdown

A fire at the Hemlock Knoll Sanitary Landfill in Lawrence Station temporarily slowing things down yesterday.

General Manager Dan Harrington tells CHSJ News the fire occurred early yesterday morning at waste disposal area and lasted for a few hours.

He says the landfill stayed open a few extra hours to make up for the downtime.

No one was hurt and the cause of the fire is still unknown.

However, Harrington believes chemicals may have mixed together in the landfill.
