Firefighters have controlled a two-alarm blaze that broke out at a home on Cape Horn Drive in San Jose this afternoon.
The fire was reported at 2:53 p.m. on the second floor of a home at 1915 Cape Horn Drive. Firefighters brought the blaze under control by about 4:45 p.m.
The fire destroyed the entire second floor, including the attic and shake roof, fire Capt. Scott Kouns said. Neighboring houses with tile roofs helped contain the fire from spreading, he said.
One resident was home when the fire started, but managed to escape uninjured, Kouns said. The home’s residents will be displaced tonight, he said.
