(6-30-14) [HD] 4-Alarm Brushfire Scorches Santa Teresa Foothills

(Watch in HD) San Jose Fire Department has received multiple calls regarding a fast moving brushfire in the Santa Teresa Foothills nearly reaching a home 50 ft away but crews were able to prevent that. Due to the number of calls received, the call was upgraded to a TIER 1. During response, Battalion 13 has declared this to be a CalFire incident. There were 2-3 Air Tankers, 1 Helicopter (CDF Chopper 106), H106, many Type 3 Engines, and a Dozer on scene. The first unit to arrive on scene, that being Engine Company 18 requested a TIER 2 due to fast winds and the fire continuing to rapidly move at a high rate of speed. After Battalion 13 (Curie IC) arrived on scene, the fire kept moving at a rapid rate of speed, so a TIER 3 and eventually a TIER 4 was requested with mutual aid from Morgan Hill Fire, Santa Clara County Fire, Palo Alto Fire, and Santa Clara Fire. Fire was consumed up to 125 acres. Enjoy exclusive on scene footage of rigs responding and on scene, a Calfire Helicopter flying around and making water drops, and a Calfire Air Tanker dropping fire retardant!
