On Thursday, July 17, 2014, at 1323 hours, San José firefighters responded to reports of smoke and flames showing from a small one story apartment building at 28 Brooklyn Avenue in the Burbank neighborhood.
Upon arrival firefighters confirmed a working fire that had started from a barbecue left too close to an exterior wall. Flames extended into one apartment unit, into the attic and eventually to a second unit. Smoke and fire damage left three residents homeless.
Firefighters were able to stop the progress of the fire while locating and removing two dogs with the assistance of neighbors. One firefighter suffered a minor injury and was treated on the scene.
