If you search “Landfill Road St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands in Google Earth, you can see how big the landfill is….this fire could be big…but the facility looks a fair distance from residential areas (but smoke from burning trash isn’t any good for anyone)…. the Ruler tool shows the landfill about 6.6 miles from Cruz Bay…that’s A LOT of smoke!

Fire’s been out since around 1:00pm. It sure had me worried as I walked out to Solomon.

I remember when the STJ landfill caught on fire. Burned for quite some time as I recall. Could smell it clearly where we were staying.

Assume that is the same landfill that is now tall enough to ruin the view from Secret Harbour.
