Two Die in 3-Alarm Fire on San Jose-Campbell Border

Two people died in a three-alarm house fire in San Jose Monday night, according to a fire captain.

The fire was reported at 8:27 p.m. at 927 S. Daniel Way, near state Highway 17 on April 15. Firefighters arriving on scene found a fully-involved fire.

Heavy smoke and fire were coming from the front of the house, Capt. Rob Brown said.

There were concerns that the home's residents may still be inside, so fire crews made an initial rescue attempt and found one elderly woman inside. She was taken out and crews attempted to resuscitate her, but she succumbed to her injuries, Brown said.

Firefighters found a second deceased adult resident inside the house, Capt. Cleo Doss said.

The fire was knocked down at 10:13 p.m. and was brought under control by 11:30 p.m., Doss said. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
