A massive warehouse fire broke out in Stockton, California, on Friday afternoon, sending thick black smoke billowing across the city. Crews were battling a fire in an ancient building near the Stockton waterfront.
Heavy flames and smoke were reported coming from the structure near North Harrison and West Lindsay streets, with officials confirming that flames had broken through the roof of the single-story structure.
The Stockton Fire Department upgraded the incident to a third alarm as crews worked to contain the flames and prevent the fire from spreading to nearby buildings. Firefighters deployed ladder trucks and multiple engine companies to attack the blaze from above while working to keep the fire confined to the warehouse.
According to CBS, the structure looks to be the former Stockton Iron Works building.
