City and county firefighters responded to a fire on Highway 359. Laredo Fire Department officials say they received a call a few minutes before midnight of a recycled pallet warehouse on fire. The Webb County Sheriff dispatched county firefighters to the scene after receiving a similar call. The fire happened on the outskirts of town, between the City of Laredo and the Webb County line. Both departments worked together to put out the fire. Three structures, including the warehouse and a mobile home, were completely destroyed. The owner of the warehouse, who lives on site, was able to evacuate his family from the area. The fire was reported to be under control, as of 5:00 am Thursday. As of now, however, firefighters are still on the scene putting out the hot spots.
