Dallas firefighters spent several hours overnight Monday battling a large pallet fire near Dallas Love Field Airport that spread to six buildings and a transfer station.
The warehouse fire was reported at about 10:30 p.m. at a commercial business complex located at 1738 Empire Central Drive in Northwest Dallas, near Harry Hines Boulevard and Royal Lane.
According to Dallas Fire-Rescue, multiple 911 callers reported what was believed to be grass or trees on fire, but when the firefighters arrived at the location, they noted that multiple pallets were burning.
Officials said high winds allowed the fire to spread to surrounding buildings, and flames and smoke could be seen from miles away.
