Four firefighters were injured and a body was found late Sunday in a three-alarm fire at a building in downtown San Jose, according to police and fire officials.
Firefighters and police responded to the blaze at a building in downtown San Jose that likely was intentionally set, according to police and the fire department. After they extinguished the blaze, firefighters found a body in the basement of the building.
The fire ignited about 5:30 p.m. at the Adult Superstore on East Santa Clara Street between First and Second streets, fire officials said. Police were initially called to the scene on reports of a former employee or disgruntled customer who returned to the business after he was asked to leave.
"He came back and entered the business and set fire to the building in multiple places," San Jose fire Capt. Mitch Matlow said.
