Blaze at landfill contained after five-hour battle

It was a large fire, not capacity issues or zoning that brought the city landfill to people's attention over the weekend. The Moose Jaw Fire Department received the call shortly before 8 o'clock on Saturday evening.

Over the course of five hours, the combined efforts of the local firefighters, city crews, and water deliveries from HF Environmental, the blaze was eventually brought under control.

The cause of the fire hasn't been determined; however, nothing aside from recently deposited city waste was destroyed as a result.
