erupted. the homes are on 24th street just off market. the fire started in the back of a blue two-story victorian home and then jumped to the place right next door. we saw flames in one case caused power lines to arc during this firefight. a total of 12 people were inside of those two homes. they were all forced outside but again everyone made it out safely. and because these are older victorian homes, firefighters say the flames in this case spread quickly. >> what makes a victorian building difficult to fight is that there are no fire blocks to block it from the floor to the ceiling. so the fire can start at the bottom and reach the attic before we get here. so when we get on scene, no matter where the fire is, we always send someone to the roof and send someone to the attic. >> this was a three-alarm fire this morning meaning there were quite a few extra crews called in from various stations to help out here. all told, more than 50

firefighters were involved and crews did knock down the fire very quickly. it was a very large fire involving two separate home. no firefighters injured. neither were any of the people who live in those two homes. they're all being helped out by the red cross. the red cross will be helping them with a place to stay. crews i'm told will be out here for several more hours tracking down hot spots and trying to make sure this large fire is all the way out. live this morning in oakland. alex savage, ktvu channel 2 news. >> time 5:35. we have developing news in san jose. police are investigating a pretty bad crash. ktvu's jeanine de la vega gathering information from police who say this started with reports of a car burglary. >> reporter: yes. the story keeps developing further as the morning goes o. i'm here on coleman avenue. they have the eastbound lanes blocked off from about sentinel to close to where meridian is. you can see here a car crashed into that pole over there and then it ended up crashing,

they're out in the neighborhoods looking for any more information. but here's what a lieutenant told me a short time ago of what they're doing right now. >> we're trying to see how many victims we have and speak to the victim, what's been taken and at the same time during that investigation, we found a victim of the stolen vehicle here. so we do have the stolen vehicle that was taken unbeknownst to the victim at that location. >> reporter: so at this point it's unclear if there's also another vehicle that's been stolen, what sort of property was taken. we know that there are officers on three different streets in the almadin neighborhoods talking to the victims, talking tots people about what she saw out there gathering more information. it's all sort of developing at this time. as soon as we found out more and as far as the identity of any possible suspect, we'll let you know. reporting from san jose, jeanine de la vega, ktvu
