Fire that smoldered for days at Stockton walnut factory reignites, firefighters say
Crews are battling a fire inside a nut processing facility in Stockton that has apparently been smoldering for days before reigniting Thursday.
The scene is at the Diamond Foods Inc. facility along Diamond Street.
Stockton Fire officials say it appears the fire initially broke out Tuesday night and has been smoldering.
Firefighters say the fire then reignited early Thursday morning. Smoke can be seen coming from the facility.
Crews are now shooting water up into the building, which houses walnuts, in the hopes of getting into the crevices and fully knock the fire out.
Exactly what started the fire is unknown at this point.
