SIBU: The Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) has managed to bring the underground fire at the closed Seng Ling dumpsite here under control.

This was stated yesterday by Bomba Sibu acting chief Wan Kamarudin Wan Ahmad who added that the operation will continue today to get to the fire deep in the ground.

“Actually, we did not see the fire (yesterday). Perhaps the fire is burning too deep underground,” he told The Borneo Post.
