Fence line communities of the Beetham Landfill, are being impacted by smoke emanating from a fire.

This is confirmed by the Trinidad and Tobago Solid Waste Management Company Limited.

Public education administrator at SWMCOL, Jackie Edgar says, an overnight blaze is responsible.

Ms. Edgar explains, that while all is well at the moment, there maybe some short lived residual effects. Last week SWMCOL successfully extinguished a fire, the company said, that the blaze was caused by extremely dry and hot conditions.
