New video, tonight, on that destructive blaze. Its cell phone video sent to us by a viewer, as firefighters were arriving on the scene. The fire burned homes in south san jose. Reporter firefighters are still here on the scene behind me, keeping an eye on things. In all, one home, a total loss. Two others, destroyed. Rather, two others, damaged.
