Federal agents are now in San Jose to help the fire department investigate the cause of Saturday's massive blaze that destroyed a Home Depot on Blossom Hill Road.
The Home Depot fire was also hectic for Wagly, a veterinary hospital and pet campus next door where dozens of animals had to be evacuated in a hurry."There wasn't panic. No one seemed panicked," he added."I think it might be because there were no fire alarms. You know, we didn't really know how serious it was."Several witnesses shared identical reports, confirming there was no sign of active sprinklers and no immediate fire alarm.
Garcia said he was only feet from where he believes the fire started, in an area with roofing and building material. "This is the third day I've come back now because I just felt like I needed to say something," he said."I feel like I was the closest person to where the fire started without being directly in front of the fire.""I had to tell two gentlemen in front of me- they were Spanish speakers- so I had to let them know in Spanish, 'Hey there's a fire. We need to go,' because they didn't understand what was being said over the PA system," Garcia said.
"Just to capture that and show how quickly the store went from, you know, a normal Home Depot to an inferno was pretty astonishing," Philip Hurst told ABC7 News."I don't know why someone didn't just trigger a fire alarm, you know? But be that as it may, they did rush us out the door." Baham shared,"I give big credit to the Home Depot employees who got us to take them seriously and leave.
