Two separate house fires in the Bay Area left families displaced. One fire in San Jose occurred at 12:20 p.m., while another in Mountain View started shortly before 3:30 a.m. Details about injuries in both fires remain unclear.
A two-alarm fire erupted about 12:20 p.m., sending firefighters scrambling to a house on the 100 block of Scharff Avevue in East San Jose , according to the San Jose Fire Department. Fire crews managed to bring the flames under control by 12:34 p.m., the agency reported on the social media site X, formerly known as Twitter. Numerous details, including whether anyone was injured in the blaze or whether anyone was home when the flames erupted, remained unclear early Wednesday afternoon.
The fire began shortly before 3:30 a.m. on the 1400 block of Ernestine Lane, according to the Mountain View Fire Department. When firefighters arrived, all of the people living inside the house had already managed to escape while smoke bellowed from a garage attached to the house, the agency reported. Firefighters managed to stop the flames from spreading to the rest of the house. Still, emergency crews had to cut utility service to the home during the fire, leaving two adults and three children displaced from the blaze, the fire department said. One person living at the house was evaluated by paramedics, but opted against going to hospital for further care; the specific nature of those injuries remained unclear
