According to one of the fire marshals in So. California....do the math
TABLE 307.1(1) MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE QUANTITY PER CONTROL AREA OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS POSING A PHYSICAL HAZARD
Flammable solid- Solid pounds (cubic feet) 125
A standard wooden pallet (48″ x 40″ x 6″) approximately 33 lbs. to 48 lbs.
That's why I let the fire department deal with it.Person, got the model 1000 code stretcher out for that one
FLAMMABLE SOLID. A solid, other than a blasting agent or explosive, that is capable of causing fire through friction, absorption of moisture, spontaneous chemical change or retained heat from manufacturing or processing, or which has an ignition temperature below 212°F (100°C) or which burns so vigorously and persistently when ignited as to create a serious hazard. A chemical shall be considered a flammable solid as determined in accordance with the test method of CPSC 16 CFR Part 1500.44, if it ignites and burns with a self-sustained flame at a rate greater than 0.0866 inch (2.2 mm) per second along its major axis

Boy I wish I had known about the code strecher - we always ribbed rookies about going to get the hose stretcher when a hose line was short.....
Besides, I don't think that the federal government has an UN number for idle pallets as a flammable solid -
bet it isn't as well built and won't hold up to as much abuse.....
That was mine experience with newer fire trucks vs. the 69 American LaFrance or the 75 Mack CF600 than ran no matter what ---
