A fire burning at the Port of Benicia has “slowed considerably” after firefighters spent Saturday night attacking the blaze from nearby boats, though officials warned that the blaze is expected to continue chewing through the port’s wooden dock all day Sunday.
While firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the flames at the base of the silos, the conveyor belt proved more difficult. Embers fell from the belt onto the wooden dock nearby, which set off the massive blaze and large billows of smoke, Chadwick said. Also, a large crane arrived onsite overnight to help trench asphalt on the pier — allowing crews to access that hard-to-reach timber under the asphalt, according to Benicia’s news release.
