FARGO (KFGO) – Firefighters in West Fargo will spend several days managing a controlled burn after equipment and brush caught fire at the city’s inert landfill.
West Fargo Fire crews were called to the 800 block of 26th Street NW for a vehicle fire.
Upon arrival, first responders discovered some equipment was fully engulfed in flames and the fire had spread to a brush pile.
A department spokesperson said crews began a defensive attack against the fire, but were unsuccessful due to high heat and wind gusts.
The fire is expected to burn with heavy smoke for several days.
No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
