Alarming rise in rural landfill fires in Peace River District
Allan Watson of the Peace River Regional District warns of a dramatic increase in fires at rural landfills across the district. He notes penalties up to 200000 for violations and cites health hazards from smoke and toxic emissions. Public meetings may discuss access restrictions and other solutions, with costs borne by taxpayers. Citizens are urged to contact regional offices in Dawson Creek or Fort St John.
