A pile of rubble in downtown San Jose caught fire Tuesday morning after two structures were bulldozed, according to the San Jose Fire Department.
The fire has been knocked down but continues to smolder, firefighters said.
The second-alarm fire broke out on the 100 block of N. 4th Street, officials said on X. The blaze was called in around 9:49 a.m.
The debris pile that caught fire was the remains of two adjacent buildings that had been bulldozed earlier in the day, fire officials said.
The fire prompted evacuations of nearby residences and impacted traffic on St. John Street and St. James Street.
