On October 15, 2024, at approximately 7:15 PM, a fire broke out at the Obert cold storage warehouse in Zillah, located on Bella Terra Road. Local fire crews from Yakima County Fire District Five and West Valley Fire-Rescue responded promptly, but the fire quickly escalated, reaching third-alarm status.
Yakima Valley Emergency Management issued a temporary shelter-in-place notice for a one-mile radius around the fire due to potential hazardous material release, which has now been lifted. The exact cause of the fire remains under investigation, and no injuries have been reported.
Initial estimates suggest the economic damage could be as high as $5 million. This warehouse fire highlights the critical importance of early fire detection, especially in facilities storing flammable goods.
Detecting fires early can significantly reduce economic losses and prevent injuries by addressing potential hazards before they escalate.
The Importance of Early Fire Detection: In incidents like this, warehouse contents are at risk, but advanced thermal imaging technologies can help prevent similar disasters.
Planck Vision Systems’ early fire detection systems monitor abnormal temperature changes in real-time, trigger timely alerts, and integrate with emergency systems, effectively reducing fire risks.

Scalable Solutions for Early Fire Detection
For early fire detection, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras are far superior to traditional systems that can alert to fire only after the visible consequences of smoke and flame are present. TNC cameras can help to prevent the destruction of goods and loss of life by surveilling for abnormal heat conditions before fires erupt.
Top 6 Advantages of Planck Vision Thermal Cameras:
Industry-Leading Sensitivity: Our cameras easily identify dangerous pre-flame conditions and post-flame hotspots, providing early warnings to prevent extensive damage.
Customizable Options: With a wide selection of sensor resolution and lens optics, we tailor our cameras to suit specific surveillance needs, ensuring optimal performance for every application.
Dual Thermal/Visible Cameras: Combining thermal and visible cameras in one unit enhances situational awareness, allowing for comprehensive monitoring and swift response to potential threats.
Easy Installation and Operation: Our IP cameras are designed for seamless integration into your local network, simplifying installation and operation for enhanced efficiency.
User-Programmed Analytics: With analytics running on Edge, our systems offer the best reliability, empowering users to customize monitoring parameters for precise threat detection.
On-Camera Head Relays: Control is placed where it’s needed most with on-camera head relays, facilitating quick adjustments and interventions in critical situations.
