Faulty wiring suspected in attic fire that displaces two from East San Jose home

SAN JOSE -- Two people were left to find alternate housing Saturday night after an intense attic fire destroyed the roof of an East San Jose home, according to the San Jose Fire Department.

The two-alarm fire was reported about 8:45 p.m. at a home on Rose Creek Drive near South White Road and Ocala Avenue, about a block from Mount Pleasant High School.

No injuries were reported as heat and flames caused the home's roof to collapse, fire officials said.

Firefighters contained the fire to the attic and corralled it within 40 minutes. The two occupants were expected to stay with relatives while the damage is assessed.

Faulty wiring is suspected to played a part in the blaze, but an exact cause remained under investigation.
