The underground fire at the Bridgeton Sanitary Landfill has been burning for two-and-a-half years. It is slowly creeping toward the nuclear site at West Lake Landfill.

Workers are implementing a court-approved plan to put out the fire, which involved smothering it.

The fire was said to be at 1,000 feet from the nuclear site.
