Bodies of three rescuers have been found at a landfill near the village of Hrybovychi, Lviv region, where a landslide happened on May 30, head of the Lviv branch of the State Emergencies Service in Lviv region, Vitaliy Turovtsev, wrote on Facebook.

"We found the body of the third rescuer," he wrote.

Earlier, the bodies of two other firefighters were recovered at the Hrybovychi garbage dump near Lviv earlier on Tuesday.

The search for the fourth ecologist continues.

On May 30, a landslide of over 100,000 cubic meters of garbage happened at the city dump near the village of Hrybovychi outside Lviv. As a result, four people were trapped under the garbage. The search for them has been held for two days now. At the moment, three bodies have been found.

The landslide might have been caused by a fire, which broke out at the dump a few days earlier. The victims of the landslide are rescuers who participated in extinguishing the fire. The police opened criminal case over the breach of security during the work at hazardous facilities.
