Fire at Güngör waste site has been burning since 08:30, cause not yet established
A fire broke out this morning, 6 September, at the Güngör Solid Waste Disposal Area (Güngör Düzenli Depolama Alanı) in Northern Cyprus. According to the press office of the TRNC Police, the fire was noticed at around 08:30, and the cause has not yet been established.
Fire service crews and heavy machinery belonging to a private company operating at the site have been deployed to tackle the blaze. The affected area has been cordoned off, the surrounding territory has been placed under guard, and work to douse and cool the waste continues.
Güngör is the main site where household waste from Lefkoşa and nearby areas is taken. Fires occur here regularly: in June this year, waste at the site was already burning.
