Crews have been responding to a fire at the Iowa City landfill. The fire was reported around 6:30 p.m. Saturday. The fire broke through containment trenches set up by landfill workers, and then spread to other parts of the site. The fire department plans to let the fire burn itself out, so it could burn for days. The city says little can be done to put out the fire, they'll just try to keep it contained until it dies out. The fire started in an area where garbage had been dumped earlier in the day. The fire has been causing concerns about air quality.
