Fire at Fife landfill site continues into fifth day as crews work to extinguish flames
A fire at the Ladybank landfill site in Fife has persisted into its fifth day, with three fire crews and specialist equipment still battling to extinguish it. The blaze began on Tuesday afternoon, and authorities have urged nearby residents to keep windows and doors closed due to smoke. At its peak, twelve fire appliances and specialist resources were deployed. No injuries have been reported, though the Unite union claimed some staff had to climb a locked gate to escape. Cireco Scotland, the site operator, dismissed this as speculation and has promised a full investigation. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has indicated that the fire may not be fully extinguished until early next week due to difficulty accessing burning material deep within the waste piles. Fife Council confirmed the waste transfer and processing facility remains closed and has advised the public that bin collections continue as usual. The Ladybank Recycling Centre itself will reopen once the fire is under control and safe access is restored. The incident has caused concern for residents and disruption for travellers, while evacuation procedures are being reviewed as part of the ongoing investigation.
