Cause unknown after late-evening fire at Altona/Rhineland Landfill

Fire fighters spent over four hours putting out yet another fire at the Altona/Rhineland Landfill last night. The call came in shortly after 8:30 p.m. 
    
According to Altona/Rhineland fire chief, Greg Zimmerman, some extra equipment was needed to help in the fight. The landfill's loader and compactor were called to duty, and a backhoe was brought in to dig out the site.
    
Zimmerman says the department used 14,000 gallons of water and foam to extinguish the flames.
    
No cause of the blaze has yet been identified.
