A large fire at a Lorain County landfill posed challenges for crews and raised concerns for neighbors Wednesday night.The fire at a Republic Services landfill site ignited around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. Fire crews from Oberlin and Carlisle Township responded to assist after several neighbors reported heavy smoke and flames visible for miles.“Typically when this happens the landfill staff, the heavy equipment operators, they can cover it up with dirt. And we typically don’t have to respond up there.
No injuries were reported, but some neighbors complained about a strong odor. Pat Justin said she was grateful the wind was not blowing the smoke toward her home, but she worried what her neighbors might have inhaled.“These odors - they are so strong. And we’re just really concerned of what we’re breathing in,” she said.Hanmer said it’s always to avoid breathing in any smoke. Republic Services said the fire did not present a public health risk.
