Two homes destroyed, one heavily damaged in East San Jose fire

The fires were all reported to be near Quimby Road and Sand Point Drive in east San Jose. No injuries have been reported, but fire officials say some residents have been temporarily displaced. Fire officials say the wind most likely played a big role in how these fires spread from one block to another. One woman also told KTVU she’s lived on this block for decades and even though her property was damaged, she’s just glad to be safe. "I need a new garage now. Definitely.

Lo says strong winds most likely carried embers from one side of Sand Point Drive, across Quimby Road to the next block of Sand Point, causing fire damage to other homes. "There was the equivalent of a four-alarm fire worth of fire equipment on scene at three different locations. Crews worked very hard in very difficult conditions in this hot weather. They were able to limit the damage to a total of three houses that involved displacement of residents," said Lo.
