Race to contain fire at garbage site near Suvarnabhumi Airport

A blaze is continuing at a large garbage dump near Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi international airport for the fourth day Monday.


More than 100 firefighting vehicles and heavy machinery were dispatched to fight the fire which had spread to over 80 rai (32 acres) around the garbage dump.


No casualties were reported so far, but firefighters were still battling the blaze.


Local authorities had ordered concerned agencies to contain the fire quickly for fear that smoke could disrupt air traffic operations.
