According to another report by Mahr News Agency, Ramin Talabi, the director of the fire department at the city of Shiraz, has said that because of the volume of trash piled up at the site, the rescuers have had difficulty reaching the missing victims. “Two fire-fighters, two horticultural engineers and two utility workers are still missing,” Talabi said. “The most important obstacles are the volume of trash and mud at the site.” The experts at the landfill have estimated that the victims are under more than 40 tons of trash.
