Fire crews have extinguished a large plastic pallet fire behind Woodbridge Chattanooga Formed Plastics off Amnicola Highway.
The blaze on Lost Mound Drive began just before 4 p.m., according to a news release from the Chattanooga Fire Department.
“Hundreds of plastic pallets were burning and a large plume of smoke could be seen across the area,” the release states.
The fire eventually spread to the woods, and firefighters had to work “hard and fast” to put it out. The effort took an hour and 15 minutes, according to the release.
Woodbridge Chattanooga Formed plastics is a manufacturer of expanded polypropylene formed plastics. About 50 workers were safety evacuated.
