MODESTO, Calif. — A large fire broke out at a pallet yard on Monday morning, requiring firefighters from multiple local agencies to respond.
Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District said that firefighters from its agency, along with crews from Modesto Fire Department and Ceres Fire Department, responded to the fire at the 700 block of E. Hatch Road.
The fire broke out in the early morning hours of June 14 in the South Modesto area, just west of Highway 99. According to Stanislaus Consolidated Fire, 5 engines, 2 trucks and 2 battalions were required to get the flames under control.
