A woman was hurt and five homes were damaged late Thursday by a large fire in downtown Stockton, according to NBC-affiliate KCRA.
The four-alarm fire started as a large pallet fire near Weber Avenue and B Street, and spread into a nearby neighborhood, prompting evacuations in the area.
Strong winds made it difficult for firefighters to battle the blaze.
The fire also produced a large, dark grey plume of smoke, which could be seen for miles.
A cause is unknown and an investigation is ongoing.
No other information was immediately available.
