the two-alarm brush fire burning at singleton and locke drive in san jose.rt handa has spoken to some firefighters and joins us live with an update. good afternoon, robert. >> reporter: good afternoon, tori. yeah. we just talked to the san jose fire department and got some official information. first of all, this fire is now declared under control. they did that at about 12:15. less than 10 minutes ago, the fire was declared under control. they are reassessing what they said earlier. this is now a seven-acre fire in an open field on capital expressway and yerba buena road. it came within a few feet from hitting the road. this is the way it looked earlier. firefighters had almost no visibility when they were talking into some parts of the fire. it was very difficult for us to breathe when we were there. most of the danger came from smoke inhalation. firefighters were able to knock down the flames very quickly. it was a two-alarm fire for calfire. they attacked this with a helicopter crew, a bulldozer and a number of different hand trucks to help the san jose

a fire has been burning near lost drive and singleton road off the capitol expressway. it's been sending up some pretty thick white smoke visible around much of the valley, although in the past few minutes, fire crews have made major progress in getting the fire under control. it's burning in a grassy open area at locke drive and singleton road, close to andrew hill high school. students were not in danger. and they were not evacuated. there was a close call though for some neighbors about 10 minutes ago. winds were pushing that fire towards homes on kauai drive and the danger appears, though, to have passed. cal fire is sending crews to fight the fire on the ground and from the air. and again, you can see a lot of that scorched earth and as we said, there were homes nearby in the area but from what we know right now, no one was evacuated. and weather is a huge factor for firefighters. we just got the current conditions, west winds at 15 minutes. they are forecast to pick up this afternoon only about 20 miles per hour with some stronger gusts. temperature-wise, right no

( harpsichord continues ) john singleton copley loved his country, but he wanted the richer artistic influences of the old world. besides, talk of revolution was everywhere. political contests, he felt, were neither pleasing to an artist nor advantageous to art itself. in 1774, copley left; it would make him a better painter, he thought. sad for him, sad for america: he never returned to his home. at 34, john singleton copley was already one of the best and most popular painters in the american colonies. the young american artist john trumbull said of him, "an elegant-looking man dressed in fine maroon cloth with gold buttons, this dazzling to my unpracticed eye, but his painting, the first i'd ever seen deserving the name, riveted--absorbed my attention and renewed my desires to enter upon such a pursuit." copley had more work than he could do. early in his career, he mastered the popular rococo style: rich texture of laces and lush fabrics, empty faces. but like many pre-revolutionary americans, copley could not suppress his belief in individual and personal expression.
