On Thursday, March 20, at 5 p.m., units of the San Jose Fire department were dispatched to 7200 Bollinger Road on the city's west side for multiple reports of heavy smoke from a two-story, multi- unit, apartment building.
Upon their arrival firefighters discovered two second floor units fully involved in fire and immediately struck a second-alarm. It took firefighters over an hour to completely extinguish the flames which left several residents homeless and one man with injuries.
Firefighters were able to prevent the fire from spreading beyond the two destroyed apartments, but several other units did suffer smoke and water damage. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
