RAYNEAU ASSISTS IN MANAGING FIRE AT DEGLOS SANITARY LANDFILL

A situation at the Deglos Landfill was speedily brought under control, thanks to the timely directives and assistance offered by the CEO of Rayneau Group of Companies Ltd., Mr. Rayneau Gajadhar.

On Saturday, June 17, 2023, Mr Gajadhar dispatched a water truck and excavator to extinguish a fire at the Deglos Landfill site which was apparently raging out of control.

This timely gesture was much appreciated by the General Manager of the St Lucia Solid Waste Management Authority (SLSWMA), Joanna Raynold  Arthurton who expressed her thanks to Mr Gajadhar . “I write on behalf of the management and staff of the St Lucia Solid Waste Management Authority and by extension the Government of St Lucia, to  thank you for your generous assistance with managing the fire at the Deglos Sanitary Landfill on Saturday, June 17, 2023.” The General Manager expressed.

She continued, “Please convey our appreciation to Mr. Boisville Hershele, the drivers of the excavator and water truck, and all other staff who ensured that your directive was executed on the day in question.”

While the exact cause of landfill fires is yet to be ascertained, officials believe that wet waste dumped in a landfill produces methane when it rots. And when the temperature rises, the methane gas which is flammable in nature catches fire spontaneously and the blaze spreads as it feeds on combustible material such as textiles and plastic items.
