California Tomato Sauce Batch Burns For Hours

500,000 Gallons Of Sauce Floods City Storm Drains

STOCKTON, Calif. (CBS) ― Crates of tomato sauce in Stockton, Calif., continued to smolder this morning, more than 12 hours after they began burning, reports CBS station KOVR-TV in Sacramento.

Five hundred plastic 300-gallon crates full of tomato product began burning Monday 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 500,000 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.
