It will take a week to put out fire at Kota Kinabalu landfill, says City Hall

KOTA KINABALU: The ongoing fire involving used tyres at the Kayu Madang landfill in Telipok will take at least a week to be completely put out, says Kota Kinabalu City Hall.

The local authority said it was taking safety measures, including speeding up landfilling on the used tyres to reduce the smoke plumes while firemen continued to fight the fire in the area for a second day.
