A large pallet fire temporarily shut down 12th St. between N B St. and D St.

SACRAMENTO, California — Sacramento firefighters put out a large pallet fire burning north of downtown Sacramento.

Sacramento Fire said the fire burned at a commercial property near 1200 North B Street. Firefighters first responded to the call about 3:50 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

As of 5:15 a.m., the fire looked to be under control, but there were still hot spots and a lot of smoke in the area. ABC10 reporter Kevin John reported the fire looks like it started in a storage area at the business that holds wooden doors. Firefighters were seen removing doors and other debris from the fire.

A fire investigation team is on the scene working to figure out what started the fire.

The fire temporarily shut down several streets in the area, including 12th St. between N B St. and D St. Light rail was closed but has reopened.

Drivers looking for a detour around the 12th St. closure can take 16th St. or I-5.
