Home Depot must pay over $1.3 million for fire code violations uncovered during a probe into an arson fire that burned a San Jose store to the ground.The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office investigated how numerous fire code violations played a role in the April 9, 2022, fire that was intentionally set at the Blossom Hill store.
Home Depot was notified it was not working, but the store took no action to fix it, authorities said."Fire code violations are potential tragedies in waiting. Ignoring them isn’t just risky; it’s reckless. It risks far more than property. It risks lives," said District Attorney Jeff Rosen.The county's investigation also showed that 13 other Home Depot stores in the county had been issued notices of fire code violations between 2018 and 2023.
