Milpitas is a fair sized, suburban city that is situated between San Jose and Fremont, that has retained that small town feel, making us a best place to live. City Council and School Board meetings are social events, and are still accessible online since Covid-19, so even if you live elsewhere, you can still attend. Politically, we tend to vote Democrat, but every nuance of progressive politics is evident.
Being in Northern California, it is cooler than the southern end of the state, yet because of the Silicon Valley mountains that block the worse weather, it tends to be “nice” year around so heating and cooling bills are trivial. Frost is rare, and it never snows in the valley. Heat is seldom unbearable. Prevailing winds are typically toward the eastern hills, so if grass fires start there, they tend to go away from the town. Landslides are not a concern.

Fire in the laundry room at the Humane Society this Morning
Milpitas, CA – December 16, 2024
Here is the press release being sent out regarding the fire incident at Humane Society Silicon Valley this morning.
Temporary Closure of Medical, Adoptions and Community Services
This morning, a fire broke out in the laundry room at the Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV) adoption center, resulting in damage to the laundry room as well as the operations and medical areas. Fortunately, there were no injuries to staff, volunteers, or animals. All animals have been safely evacuated and are being cared for in temporary accommodations.
As a result of the fire, HSSV has temporarily closed its Medical, Adoptions, and Community Services for today, December 16, 2024.
“We are incredibly grateful for the quick response from the Milpitas Fire Department Station 4 and the dedication of our staff and volunteers who ensured the safety of all animals and people on-site,” said Kurt Krukenberg, HSSV President. “We are assessing the extent of the damage and working diligently to resume operations as quickly as possible.”

HSSV will provide updates regarding the reopening of Adoptions and Community Services through our social media channels. Unfortunately, our website (hssv.org) is also experiencing temporary difficulties due to the fire, but we will be updating it as soon as possible.
