neighborhood on the north san
jose/milpitas border.
a family was having a fourth of
july barbecue when the propane
tank they were using simply
exploded.
the fire spread quickly but
firefighters knocked it down
before it spread to other homes
on sydney drive, just blocks
away from milpitas christian
school.
>> it just goes so quick.
a blink of your eye, the total
loss of your house.
>> everyone was okay at this
one.
as firefighters were mopping up,
another fire sparked two blocks
away.
this one was caused boy a bottle
rocket that fell into the trees
and caught fire in a matter of
seconds.
the flames fortunately were put
out before they could spread to
nearby homes.
>>> firefighters are also
mopping up after two separate
brush fires in the oakland
hills.
both fires broke out around
11:30 last night on opposite
sides of the park.
60 firefighters from both the
oakland and cal fire departments
were called to fight those
fires.
both fires were contained about
3:00 this morning.
