Neighbors along Fontanelle Drive witnessed a terrifying scene as flames engulfed their surroundings. One resident described the moment he saw a massive fire, stating, "I looked out our fence to see this huge, massive fire and smoke billowing out from beyond our iron fence." The intensity of the fire, fanned by winds, quickly spread from the brush to nearby homes, leading to chaos on the street.
San Jose Fire Battalion Chief Brad Cloutier highlighted the challenges faced by firefighters during the incident, explaining, "When you got a fast-moving vegetation fire that's being driven by the wind, you have homes on fire. We have multiple problems that we need to solve all at once." He emphasized the urgency of deploying resources quickly to prevent further damage.
