A Tyne and Wear Fire Brigade spokesman said: ““The plastic pallets were giving off a lot of smoke but the fire is not major and no buildings are involved.”
The Environment Agency was alerted to ensure that there was no threat of contamination to water supplies and is expected to carry out an investigation into the blaze.
