1.1.1 Incident Category
Emergency Response
1.1.2 Site Description
Tire Fire
1.1.2.1 Location
The tire fire is adjacent to the RST Landfill, just south of Highway 18, approximately 3 miles west of Carter, SD.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
Tire fires commonly produce pyrolytic oils which would affect the land and possibly nearby surface water and ground water. There is also a likelihood of high levels of fine particulate emissions, VOCs, SVOCs, and acrid smoke which could affect landfill workers and nearby residents.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
The initial assessment confirms that the entirety of the tire pile is engaged in the fire. It appears that the pyrolytic oils are being burned as they are being generated, but no sampling or in depth evaluation has been completed at this time.

2.1.1 Narrative
ERRS crews and equipment are being staged, and a borrow source located. The operational approach will be simply to spread the tires out in an orderly fashion, smother and compact them with clay, and then cool the clay with water. This will be followed by further compaction until the whole pile is smothered, compacted tightly and cooled.
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
Crews have begun the initial attack on smothering the pile.
2.1.3 Enforcement Activities, Identity of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs)
None.
