FIREFIGHTERS will have their hands full over the next few days dealing with the blaze at the landfill site in Wareham.

The incident has been tackled by dozens of personnel from Dorset Fire and Rescue Service, going to illustrate once again that being a firefighter, whether whole time or retained is no walk in the park. Meanwhile bodies like the Environment Agency and Public Health England are monitoring the situation. Health advice has been issued but thankfully the effects of the smoke appear to have been minimal. As ever in these cases though, caution is the watchword in these polluted times.
