A massive trash mountain in Kochi, India, caught fire six days ago, and more than 600,000 people are now dealing with the thick layer of smoke blanketing their city.

The 16-acre Brahmapuram waste plant — which contains large amounts of plastic waste — caught fire on Thursday evening, per CNN.

The blaze resulted in a thick layer of smoke over Kochi, a city in the coastal Kerala state. People have been advised to stay indoors and use N-95 masks if they need to go outside, the BBC reported.

A tweet from Manoj Viswanathan, journalist with The New India Express, showed an aerial view of thick smoke billowing out from the landfill.
