Firefighters continued to battle flare-ups at the Phuket City municipal landfill on Sunday, more than 24 hours after a fire broke out at the site. The ongoing blaze has led authorities to halt all garbage deliveries to Phuketdump, disrupting regular waste management operations on the island.
Emergency Response and Service Disruption
Crews remained on site throughout Sunday, focusing on extinguishing persistent hotspots within the landfill, officials said. The fire’s duration has complicated containment efforts, requiring extended deployment of local resources.
Municipal officials confirmed that all incoming garbage deliveries to the landfill have been suspended until the situation is under control. Waste collection services across Phuket are affected by the closure, with no alternative disposal site announced as of Sunday.
