Central Valley: Eight agencies fight almond hull fire at Patterson dairy

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.

    ****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

    "I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
