    Anyone heading to the landfill should expect longer wait times and follow staff directions.

    Wild Cove is open for regular operations today but crews will continue to smother the fire over the coming days. This after Thursday night’s blaze couldn’t be contained until after 8 ‘clock the next morning. Anyone heading to the landfill should expect longer wait times and follow staff directions. There will still be smoke in the area so anyone with respiratory concerns and sensitivities should wait a few more days before visiting.
