off of alum rock avenue, the exit office 6.80. so about a quarter mile from the freeway. the fire department got here. they realize that the fire was heavier and more intense than initially thought. so they called for backup rising to a 3 alarm fire. they were able to knock down the flames. stay here late last night to make sure the hot spots are out. 4 people. well, they have been absorbed by other buddhist temples in san jose. so they're not homeless. they are staying at other locations as far as the cause of the fire, you can see the sun is up. no urgency at this particular time. but they do want to preserve the scene, which is why you see the green fence right behind me. investigators will be back out a little bit later today to find out the cause of the fire. >> back to you. right. thank you. will also in the news this morning. breaking news, the national highway traffic safety administration now launching an investigation
