Agency: Sunnyvale Fire
Incident Address: 732 E. El Camino Real, Sunnyvale
Type: Third alarm
 
Details: Multiple occupancy strip mall. One unit charged with smoke down to the floor upon arrival of first unit. Brief interior attack before safety concerns forced shift to defensive. Fire spread to two adjoining occupancies but was prevented from spreading to attached buildings on both sides by application of strong hose streams, two of which were elevated (SNY T-1, SNC T-8), to protect existing fire walls. Three tenancies severely damaged, little damage to exposures. Final extinguishment was made more difficult by multiple layered roof surface.
