BRIEF: Eight agencies fight almond hull fire at Patterson dairy

Feb 15, 2012 (The Modesto Bee - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- A fire broke out in a pile of almond hulls at a dairy east of Patterson Wednesday morning, resulting in a blaze that took eight agencies about two hours to extinguish.


According to the Mountain View Fire Department, the fire broke out around 11 a.m. Dampened by the recent rainfall, the almond hulls got hot and started smouldering.

Firefighters called for other agencies to bring water tenders to the site, since there is no piped supply to the area.


The fire spread to two other piles before it was extinguished about 1 p.m., but no buildings were damaged or injuries reported.
