Firefighters on Friday morning were still at the scene of a vegetation fire that threatened homes in San Jose, and which they said was deliberately set.
The fire had burned 90 acres and was 80 percent contained on Friday morning. Fire Capt. Brian Palodichuk called it arson and that a witness saw someone lighting fires on Colleen Drive in the Santa Teresa foothills about 6 p.m. on Thursday.
"When units arrived, they found six separate fires two- to three-acres in size," he said. "It was discovered these fires were intentionally set."
Aerial footage shows how close the flames got to an entire neighborhood.
Cal Fire used tankers and helicopters, doing air drops.
Firefighters were seen staged outside of homes.
They say the neighborhood near the Golden Ridge Golf Course was threatened and residents had to be evacuated. But by Friday morning, the evacuation order has since been lifted.
