This from Eric Haak:
I took this in around 5:00am Thursday morning (1/5). The first company reported it to be a pallet yard at 48th and Morgan. From the street it looked more like a pile of junk that did catch a few stacks of pallets. Engine 50 had a position inside the yard that was not visible from the street.
