    VI, PR National Guard support to combat fire at Bovoni landfill

    The Puerto Rico National Guard- Army Aviation Support Facility joins the Virgin Islands National Guard, aiding efforts to combat a fire at the Bovoni Landfill, St. Thomas.

    Col. Jorge Gadolffin led the team, arriving on September 20, and was responsible for supplying 60,000 gallons of water to the site (100 drops) prior to their departure on Sept. 21, 2023.

    With the support and assistance from various other government agencies, V.I. Fire Emergency Services leads efforts to combat and mitigate the impact of the landfill's fire to protect public health and safety.

    "Overall, we will continue to support the requirements until it's necessary for us to cease operations with success through V.I emergency services," says Kodjo Knoxlimbacker, the adjutant general in his address to the public during Government House's Press Briefing on Sept. 21, 2023.
