Fire crews, who arrived to find the pallets burning and the barn partly involved in flames, put out the blaze at about 7 a.m., Hori said.

No one was reported injured in the fire, which was fought by Cal Fire and members of the Gilroy and San Jose fire departments, and the cause is being investigated, he said.

The fire prompted the temporary closure of Ferguson Road between highway 152 and Dunlap Avenue, Cal Fire officials said.
