Tomato Sauce Fire Burns For Hours In Stockton

STOCKTON (CBS13) ― Crates of tomato sauce in Stockton continued to smolder this morning, more than 12 hours after they began burning.

Five hundred plastic 300-gallon crates full of tomato product began burning yesterday afternoon at the Unilever Factory on Waterloo Road.

The fire forced nearby railroad tracks to close for as long as three hours and flushed at least 500-thousand gallons of tomato sauce into city storm drains.

No one was hurt, and the cause is still unknown.

The damage is estimated to be $1 million.
