A significant portion of Tarxien’s Triq id-Dejma turned into fairly dangerous ground after it was set ablaze as a result of three separate garbage fires.
An eyewitness reported that an initial fire began from within a waste management truck, with the on-duty workers dumping the burning garbage onto the road.
Due to the significant amount of waste, three large burning piles were created across Triq id-Dejma, generating a significant amount of smoke in the area whilst creating a safety hazard for residents and passers-by.
The Civil Protection Department has been contacted.
