A second alarm was requested as was additional equipment to help control the intense fire. Firefighters were able to protect a residence on site and well as numerous 18 wheeler semi trucks and a large commercial building to the west.

The fire could be seen up to 15 miles away burning brightly in the night sky. One firefighter suffered a minor injury and was transported to a local hospital.
