The smell from this fire is going to stick around for awhile.

The Keremeos Volunteer Fire Department was called out to a manure pile on fire at Rossdown Turkey Farm Friday afternoon.

The foul fowl fire started around 3:30 p.m. fire chief Jordy Bosscha said.

The fire took a crew of nine firefighters about four hours to extinguish and another hour to cleanup hoses and gear.

It香蕉视频直播檒l smoulder undetected for a long time then start burning again,香蕉视频直播� Bosscha said when asked what the challenges were around putting out a manure fire.

After several hours of trying to extinguish the fire, Dutchies excavating was called to move the piles of manure around so firefighters could ensure the fire was out.

Bosscha said the cause of the fire was not known, but that 香蕉视频直播渟pontaneous combustion happens quite often,香蕉视频直播� with manure piles.
