A Sunday morning blaze at an East San Jose home left one resident dead after firefighters responded to a three-alarm fire at 1028 Wilsham Drive near Penitencia Creek Park.
The San Jose Fire Department was called at approximately 10:12 a.m. and arrived to find the home fully engulfed in flames, according to spokesperson Sean Lovens. Upon arrival to the scene, firefighters contained the fire from spreading to nearby homes.
Another resident of the home was sent to the hospital with minor injuries, according to Lovens. The fire department did not provide identification of the individual who was killed.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
A two-alarm fire occurred at the same home in April 2016, according to the fire department. A spokesman could not provide any information surrounding the cause of the previous incident.
