(FOX40.COM) - - A multi-acre pallet lawn fire with 20 to 50 foot flames near Tracy illuminated the morning sky on Thursday.

Since about 2 a.m., fire teams with the South San Joaquin County Fire Authority and a number of other surrounding companies have actually been reacting to a fire situated in a 6-acre pallet lawn along Grant Line Road.

Fire Chief Randall Bradley stated that when the very first systems shown up on scene they discovered the fire to be well included and within a matter of minutes the fire rose to a 3 alarm.

One of the major challenges for responding crews was the lack of a local water supply at the pallet yard, requiring water tenders to be brought in.

Bradley said that six water tender were gotten in touch with to supply the required fire retardant for the 12 fire engines and 3 ladder trucks that reacted to the fire.

As crews reduced a deluge on the inferno, those living within close vicinity to the fire were left to the close-by Banta Elementary School.

No structures were ruined beyond the pallet lawn and no injuries have been reported from the public or fire crews.

Offered the scope of the fire and the major possibility of flare ups from undetected coal within the pallets, Bradley stated teams will stay at the scene all the time.

This continued fire presence has actually triggered Banta Elementary School to be closed for the whole day as streets near and around the school will be filled with fire device, presenting a risk to trainees and parents driving in the location, according to Bradley.

Much of the possible fuel for the fire has actually been burned up by the quick moving and extremely hot flames, leaving crews to mop up the staying chars.

Pacific, Gas and Electric is also on scene resolving power outages triggered by the fire. Since 7:18 a.m. a minimum of 40 customers lack power in the area of the fire.
