With all the garbage everywhere, I'm surprised there aren't more fires like this one....

Maybe the locals or those who dump the garbage will clean up their act.

Sorry for the houseowner, I hope it was insured. However, the fire destroyed a load of garbage preventing it piling up and festering for rats and soi dogs!
