2 Alarm Fire Breaks Out At Auto Parts Store Where 4 Alarm Fire Occurred Last Year

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA -- A two-alarm fire broke out Thursday morning at an abandoned auto parts store in San Jose that was the scene of a four-alarm fire last year.

At 3:02 a.m., firefighters were dispatched to 1064 S. White Road, the location of an O'Reilly Auto Parts store that has been abandoned in the time since it caught fire June 1, 2016.

Fire crews had the blaze under control around 5:15 a.m., but crews remained on scene until just after 7 a.m.

There were no reports of injuries. The cause remains under investigation.

The previous fire at the location began in the grass and shrubs behind the store and spread to the eaves of the building just as crews arrived. It was initially considered a three-alarm fire, but it was upgraded to four alarms due to the potential presence of hazardous materials like motor oil and other automotive products.

No injuries were reported in last year's fire, either.
