The ongoing landfill fire in St. Clair County, Alabama, continues to raise alarm among local residents due to its potential health impacts. Moody and Trussville residents have highlighted their concerns regarding respiratory issues and adverse health effects caused by the persistent smoke emanating from the landfill.
One resident experienced a lung collapse shortly after the fire began, leading her to ponder if the prolonged exposure to the smoke contributed to her health scare. With the recurrence of smoke, she expresses deep apprehension about its potential impact on her well-being, fearing a relapse of health issues.
Another resident, living in close proximity to the landfill, suffers from preexisting health conditions exacerbated by the fire. He reports mild effects such as skin irritation and expresses worry about more severe health issues observed in others, such as nose bleeds, eye and ear infections.
Despite acknowledging efforts by the EPA, Moody Fire, and St. Clair County leaders, residents voice discontent over the prolonged duration of the fire and wished for earlier intervention to mitigate its effects on the community.
Both Moody Fire and the EPA are actively monitoring the site using thermal detection to locate flames and hot spots. County leaders advise concerned residents to reach out to the Alabama Department of Environmental Management for inquiries or assistance.
The persistence of the landfill fire continues to distress residents, highlighting the urgency for timely resolution and heightened community focus on addressing the potential health risks posed by the ongoing environmental issue.
