Reporter hot spots still being put out at a warehouse the length of a city block. It wiped out a mans Family Business, vintage roof tile, owned it for 10 years. Devastating.

This morning stretching back over the past three days. Now we are looking at six or seven incidents. This is definitely cause for concern for them. They say though that huge five plus alarm warehouse fire that happened yesterday, they say that that one connected to this string of fires this morning, thats going to be a difficult one to make.

They are not ready to release it just yet. Live in East San Jose, kiet do, kpix 5. Th
