Rumpke Waste & Recycling officials say they're inspecting the landfill's lining system following Sunday night's fire, and the cause of the fire remains unknown.

"We're examining to see if we can identify a cause, which we're not sure if we'll ever be able to identify the cause, but also inspecting the liner system to make sure that that liner system is intact and it is as strong as it's meant to be, so it can serve as intended purpose of keeping the trash inside the landfill."
