Santa Clara County firefighters Saturday afternoon were in the final stages of putting out a fire that engulfed a vacant 72,000-square-foot office building in Campbell.
“They’re pulling down the unsecured walls of the building so we can get in there and try to get further into the building with our hose lines to finally complete extinguishment of this fire,” said Jason Falarski, deputy chief with the Santa Clara County Fire Department.
“The fire became contained last night. We continued working throughout the night and into today,” Falarski said.People who live around the area saw their neighborhood fill up with smoke on Friday and were fascinated by the process on Saturday. “Just due to the pollutants that come from the carcinogens from the burnt building, we have worked with our HazMat team in monitoring the creeks and streams and have made contact with all of the agencies that are involved with any type of runoff from this situation,” Falarski said. “We’ve worked with Fish and Game for the water runoff into the creeks and, so far, everything has been OK.”“What started it? Insurance?” said Tadlock Jr.
