Video: Riddell’s Bay Blaze Briefly Flares Up
The smouldering remains of the Riddell’s Bay golf course brush fire briefly flared up again last night [Mar. 9] and had to be hosed down by the Bermuda Fire Service.
A major fire broke out at the Riddell’s Bay Golf & Country Club on Tuesday night. It took fire fighters five hours — and more than 3000 gallons of water — to extinguish the blaze.
Officials said the cause of fire is currently unknown but it was not believed to be suspicious in nature.
The 150-by-200 pile of horticultural waste had continued to smoulder throughout Wednesday before reigniting last night.
JMO, but should have piled it together in a dense pile, let it burn, burn hot & clean & be over within a few hours.
Addng water trying to put it out just makes it smoke more & stink more.
