""You can't get upset," Lampkin said. "You're just going to run yourself crazy, right? So, yeah, it's just life has just been altered. That's all it is. You know, it gets better, you know, just keep living and, you know, it'll""
A two-alarm fire broke out shortly before 11 a.m. along the 1600 block of Kirkland Drive in Sunnyvale. Fire crews responded and spent much of the day mopping up and checking for hot spots while using suppression foam to contain flames and prevent spread. Two, possibly three, of five units sustained damage, displacing residents and damaging personal belongings. No injuries were reported among residents or firefighters. The cause appears to have started in a rear unit and remains under investigation. The city and the Red Cross provided immediate assistance to affected families as they regroup and plan next steps.
