Date and Time: April 19, 2015, 1016 hours
Agency: Santa Clara County Fire
Incident Address: 20810 4th St., Saratoga
Type: Three Alarms
Details: Two-story, four-unit residential building in a fairly large complex. Restricted access, and proximity of nearby exposed building and trees presented a challenge to arriving units. E-73 was first–in. E-78 laid a long 5-in. water supply line to E-73 and took off the second attack line while T-71 opened the roof. E-73 ended up serving one 2-1/2-in. and two 1-3/4-in. lines. The fire, which originated in a second-floor unit, ultimately involved the roof space. Building will not be habitable for quite some time. There was no damage to exposures or trees.
