A brush fire in south McAllen that nearly reached a nearby warehouse was contained Tuesday evening, according to McAllen fire chief Juan Gloria.

Multiple crews responded to old 10th Street south of the McAllen International Airport Tuesday at around 1:30 p.m. in reference to the fire, Gloria said.

A brush fire spread to palm trees, and the roof of the nearby warehouse of the produce distributor Sweet Seasons.

Three trailer-trucks were consumed in the fire, Gloria added. 

Hidalgo County Fire Marshal Homero Garza said brush and pallets caught on fire behind a warehouse but did not spread to surrounding areas, and no injuries have been reported.

The cause of the fire is unknown.
