My twitter timeline is full of pictures taken of a huge fire taking place at the edge of Beirut today, next to the Karantina landfill. Apparently the cause of the fire is unknown at this point, but based on the pictures that it could be the landfill. The location is also very close to the fuel reserves in Dawra.

Hopefully this won’t get much bigger and the Lebanese fire department can get on top it quickly.
