MARCH 31, 2021: Thick, black smoke blanketed several communities in St James after an early-morning fire ripped through the Retirement dump near Granville before being brought under control. Garnet Edmondson, regional operations manager at the Western Parks and Market, which has oversight of the dump, said that the fire started shortly after 2 a.m. An initial investigation concluded that the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion – a common occurrence at landfills.
