Texas-size Wood Pallet Fire | Wood Pallet Truth

San Antonio firefighters came up against a tough foe on Friday: a huge pile of blazing wood pallets. Like all wood pallet fires it got big in a hurry and spread quickly doing a lot of damage. It almost spread to nearby homes, but the firefighters fortunately had aerial hoses deployed and were able to knock it down.

However, like a lot of wood pallet fires, it kept flaring up and threatening to reignite. The fire crew had to stay on site for awhile until they were absolutely sure no more wood pallets were burning. The owner of the business where the fire started suspects arson. Obviously, I can’t say one way or the other. One thing I do know: wood pallets don’t need a lot of help to catch fire as evidenced by the number of these stories that keep showing up.
