At 10:00 this morning, Lafayette firefighters responded to 507 Tideland Drive to an unknown fire in the yard of Jewel Specialty and Supply Company.
When firefighters arrived, heavy smoke and flames were coming from the rear section of the oilfield service company. A 350 gallon plastic diesel container with a small amount of diesel, a portable light tower, and a small job site trailer were involved in the fire. The dark smoke was a product of the diesel and plastics burning. Firefighters extinguished the fire with fifteen minutes.
