Officials say most of the material that caught fire was inside several sea cans, and included some propane tanks, aerosol, acetylene, and diesel that caused minor explosions.
Fire crews had trouble fighting the fire, since there are no hydrants in the area. Water had to be trucked in to the area.
Workers were on scene, but everyone has been accounted for and was not injured.
