WEST 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 806 26th Street NW for a vehicle fire. When they arrived on-scene, 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 one was hurt. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
West Fargo Police and West Fargo Rural Fire Department assisted with the blaze.
