PLEASANTON, Texas — More than 80 fire, police, and emergency agencies battled a massive, multi-structural blaze in Pleasanton, Texas, Atascosa County, about an hour south of San Antonio. The July 26 fire reportedly began at W.W. Wood Inc., which makes barbecue-related products, including wood chips, artificial logs for barbecues, and more.

W.W. Wood, aka Western Premium BBQ Products, Inc., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duraflame Inc., according to the website.

Duraflame, which specializes in wood and fire starter products, released a statement to the news station KSAT about the fire. The station reported that a "significant amount of the production capability" at the Pleasanton plant managed by its subsidiary company was destroyed in the massive weekend fire.

Fire officials said that crews worked for several hours to contain the fire to the warehouse, where it "is being allowed to burn under controlled conditions." 

W.W. Wood, aka Western Premium BBQ Products, lists on its website a variety of wood cooking products, including wood chunks and chips from several species of wood, as well as "mini-logs" made from species such as hickory and pecan. 

Its website links to Duraflame, makers of artificial logs. The logs are primarily made from a blend of recycled and renewable wood and agricultural fibers, combined with waxes and other combustible materials. Specifically, they often include sawdust, bark, cardboard, crushed nutshells, or coffee grounds, held together with waxes. Some Duraflame logs also incorporate ingredients to add color to the flame or enhance the burning experience, such as certain metals.
