Don't know if it is the same situation, and I hope I've got this right, but quite a few years back a regional landfill a few towns away from us had similar problems with frequent fires erupting and as I recall, they said it was natural combustion caused by underground pockets of methane gas that builds up and eventually self-ignites. Years later and many dollars spent, they were able to resolve the problems and ultimately the landfill was closed for good. Don't know if this is the same basic problem or not, but if the landfill on SXM were to close, I can't imagine what they would do. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
