A fire on Green Island broke out this morning, with residents worried the fire could last at least 2 more days.
A landfill near the island's hot springs district started smoking this morning, with half of the island able to see the smoke.
Local representatives say, firefighters were able to arrive at the scene decently quickly, but were only able to spray water from a ways away.
County Councilor Wang Yu Li says, the cause of the fire is not yet clear, and there are fears that the fire may continue through the rest of the weekend.
She says, they're trying to get a helicopter on site to help with firefighting efforts.
