To fight the flames, elements of the Umán Civil Protection, under the command of director Jesús Campos; of Urban Cleaning, under the command of chief Jesús González; Ecology and Environment, Braulio Gómez Xool, and the councilors of the public garbage collection service commission, Armando Quintal Rosado and Francisco Alexis Uc Estrella, arrived at the municipal garbage dump in this city.
For several hours the municipal workers resorted to buckets of water and hoses to suffocate the flames.
Heavy machinery was even used to prevent the fire from spreading to more areas of the landfill.
