ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The city of Rochester filed a petition to the state Supreme Court in Monroe County last Thursday, asking for a warehouse to be vacated after a major fire there two months ago.
The petition targets the Pallet Express warehouse on Lyell Avenue, which was the site of a five-alarm fire in June. The city says the warehouse poses a fire and safety risk.

According to court papers, the warehouse has inadequate fire alarm and suppression systems. The building also contains combustible materials, including wooden pallets.
“And so, given that we just had a fire like this two months ago, it would not be prudent to have a pallet company operate in a building that doesn’t have a proper fire suppression system,” said Mike Furlano, the City of Rochester’s property attorney. “We’re trying to avoid unnecessary demolition, unnecessary fires, because you put everybody at risk.”
Fire safety experts told News10NBC that wood pallets can present unique hazards because of the way they’re stacked and the airflow around them.
News10NBC reached out to both Pallet Express and the owner of the warehouse. So far, there has been no response. When we hear back, this story will be updated.
