Flames tore through a detached garage, several outbuildings, and at least one vehicle during an early morning fire in San Jose’s Burbank district on April 20, 2008. Just after 6:00 am units of the San Jose Fire Department responded to multiple calls reporting fire to the rear of 108 Cleveland Avenue.
While en route first-due Engine Company 4 reported a large column of smoke from several blocks away prompting the dispatch of a full-first
structure alarm.
Upon their arrival firefighters discovered heavy fire consuming several small storage buildings and threatening at least two exposures. With water supply established and additional resources on scene, firefighters under the direction of Battalion Chiefs Gary Weekley (B10A) and Kevin Conant (B1A) pressed an offensive attack and stopped the fire from spreading to adjacent residential structures.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation and there were no injuries.
