I don't see anything about this yet.. I saw this on my news feed this morning.. apparently it's been burning since 3AM.. Someone mentioned that the one in Robinhood was also set alight around the same time??? :confused: could be just wild speculation.. it was FB afterall! Pic..

Looks like it is almost out now alright. It was still burning late last night, but they've moved mountains of waste and piled them up outside and tore down any remaining walls to let the rain get in and get at it.

Yeah I work in crumlin and I could smell and see the smoke when I was leaving at 7.30pm last night but there's no smell or anything now.

Awful smell where I was last night. Hope it's gone when I get home.

It restarted at the other side last night and the smoke was blowing in the Greenhills direction..south east. Definitely looks out again now.
