A fire broke out at the state landfill in Old Town late Monday night. The Old Town Fire Department says a neighbor reported the blaze around 8 pm and that crews were there for four-and-a-half hours. The company that runs Juniper Ridge Landfill, Casella Waste Systems, then took over the response with heavy machinery. A Casella spokesperson says that the fire was contained around midnight.
