Fires like this have happened before!&#8217; shouted the frustrated residents.<\/p>\n<p>The Head of Garut&#8217;s Environmental Agency, Aji Sukarmaji, said that landfill fires are not something that the site operators do on purpose &#8211; rather, it is caused by the combination of the dry season and the concentration of methane gases that rises up from the decomposing garbage. &#8220;Fridtion causes sparks that may turn into a fire,&#8221; he said..<\/p>\n<p>Aji said that his officials always deploys a fire engine everytime a fire is reported, so the fires do not spread and threaten the safety of residents around the site.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The lack of sophistocated garbage processing mechanisms have also forced us to simply dump rubbish at the site, which makes it prone to fires,&#8221; said Aji, who promised that by next year, the Agency will have prepared a more efficient way of handling garbage at the site.<\/p>\n<p>Aji said that his officials have negotiated with the protesting residents to end their protest. &#8220;The landfill will start operating again tomorrow,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Many returning Homecoming travellers were impacted by the protest &#8211; because the site is located near the Southern route between Leles and Nagreg.
