It appears as though a battery may be responsible for yet another fire at a waste disposal facility in the province.
The Eastern Regional Service Board says its Clarenville Transfer Station is closed while first responders battle a blaze at the facility.
It’s suspected that the latest fire was caused by a lithium-ion battery that was improperly thrown out in household trash.
Details on when the facility will be reopened have not yet been determined.
Two similar fires recently occurred at the Robin Hood Bay landfill in St. John’s.
