SUMMERLAND - A fire has broken out at the Summerland landfill.

District of Summerland chief administrative officer Linda Tynan says the fire broke out this morning in the demolition section of the landfill.

The Summerland Fire Department is currently on scene fighting the blaze.

“While a relatively large fire, it is not expected to grow out of control,” Tynan says, adding expectations are it will be contained to the landfill site.
