Firefighters will probably be at the site until about 7 p.m. to make sure the tires and pallets don’t ignite again.
Ray said:
“Obviously those can stay pretty warm.”
Some businesses nearby were evacuated. No homes were threatened because no homes were nearby.
People were urged to avoid the area as the fire caused a lot of smoke.
