On Wednesday, May 5, 2010 at 12:15 p.m., units of the San Jose Fire Department responded to a report of smoke and fire in a two-story home located at 6090 Guadalupe Mines Road on the city's southwest side.
Upon arrival, firefighters discovered heavy fire in a single-family dwelling with flames impinging on an adjacent exposure. The fire quickly spread into a neighboring home's attic requiring a fourth-alarm of mutual aid companies to be dispatched from the Santa Clara County Fire Department.
Firefighters were able to bring both fires under control in just over 60 minutes. Unfortunately both houses were deemed to be uninhabitable, displacing a total of nine people, including four adults and five children.
