If AFB is involved, you can take care of the boxes with a chimney fire.
Very exciting and fun, at least for me way back when. I forget all the
basics but it is nothing more than a fire at the bottom of a bunch of
stacked boxes which form a chimney. As I recall, gasoline was involved with
some crumpled newspapers. The fire was quick and very impressive. Had I
done it at night, you could have seen it from space.

Or you can wimp out and torch the interior of the boxes with a butane
torch. Not nearly as much fun and won't impress the neighbors or fire
department.
