The fire could be seen burning close to a structure that was in the garden, but authorities later confirmed it didn't sustain any damage.Firefighters could be seen directing their hoses on areas of vegetation that were still burning as of around 2:40 p.m., though crews seemed to be getting the fire under control a short time later.
San Jose Fire later said there were a total of five separate spot fires extinguished by crews with combined size estimated at three acres. San Jose police responded to provide traffic control on westbound McKee between Ludlow and Educational Park during the incident. The fire was brought under control at 3:26 p.m. Authorities said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
