This is not the first trash fire All American Waste and South Windsor firefighters have dealt with this year.

An All American Waste garbage truck fire was extinguished back in February while it was out collecting neighborhood garbage.

After that fire, firefighters advised residents to make sure they aren't throwing out hazardous or flammable materials.
