| has gloss | eng: A tire fire is a slow-burning fire that occasionally occurs at dumps where tires are being stored. It is a specific form of landfill fire. They are noted for being difficult to extinguish, and therefore can burn for long periods. Such fires produce a lot of smoke, which often carries toxic chemicals from the breakdown of rubber compounds while burning. A single tire contains about the equivalent of 7.5 liters (two U.S. gallons) of oil. |
