Officials said wooden pallets caught fire, and the flames quickly grew. “A big yard that stores pallets, and there are hundred to thousands of pallets, and they’ve caught fire, and it’s causing a huge, huge fire,” said Hialeah Fire Rescue Capt. David Rodriguez.
Firefighters worked to keep it from spreading to nearby buildings.
Saturday night, smoke continued to stream from the building, but officials said the fire is under control.
No one was injured, including guard dogs who were able to escape from the structure.
