Fire at Recycling Center May 25, 2020

Crews Contain Fire at South Bay Recycling Facility

Will leave story here for a few more hours, but not updating any longer. Story was updated continuously during the episode, by Ann Zeise, GoMilpitas.com

Crews are battling a fire that broke out around 1 p.m, May 25, 2020, in Milpitas. The Fire Department is on the scene at the 1600 block of Dixon Landing Rd at the Republic Services Newby Island Landfill. The cause of the fire is still unknown.

Listening to emergency crew from San Jose, Milpitas and Fremont.

Pressure on fire hydrant just went out for two trucks. Underground water main appears broken. Closest plug is about 2000′ up in Fremont. Water company has been called. Fremont Blvd. will be closed to accommodate fire hoses. Fire could take off again until water can once again be supplied.

Water tenders have arrived, and keeping fire from moving north into Fremont. Truck 29 moving in closer. Milpitas Fire 87 and 88 are both on the scene. Division Alpha pumping. Drafting water out of local ponds as well. See map. Water is NOT a city issue. Water main failure was with the Newbie Island water system.

[Possible Covid-19 emergency also being reported for other emergency crews to resolve.]

Knocking down burning debris with a front loader. Rotating crews into cooling station in a nearby barn. 125 psi only, too low pressure for effective fire fighting. Distance water has to go is a problem.

Starting to make real progress now (3:15). Plans being made for reinforcement, mop up. Fremont Engine 61 released to go home. Engine 23 released. Engine 21 with water tender awhile longer. Milpitas Engine 86 released. Truck 86 released, too.

Fire pushing to the west. Checking on extension. Firefighters said large compressed bales of trash — mostly paper products — caught fire at the facility. An official cause of the fire is under investigation.

One pile flaring up. Stick may be able to reach it. Flaring up near cyclone fence. Traffic on Fremont Blvd still be stopped. Go another way! 880 is not being shutdown.

At this point ensuring all hotspots are out. San Jose has 4 engines and trucks. Milpitas still also has one engine on scene. Fremont 16 only one left at scene from Fremont. Plan is to shut down in 5 minutes, by 4:05 PM. Engine 25 and 29 shutting down. Working on cutting down hydrant up in Fremont, and reclaiming the firehose. When down, Fremont Blvd will open up again.

Bob Burrell’s Backyard Model Railroad

Bob Burrell had an open backyard this past weekend where he and his young “engineers” ran his G-scale model railroad for all those who appeared.

Bob is also well known for his movie, the Milpitas Monster, which will be shown once again on the night before Halloween at the Century Theaters. I, Ann Zeise, have tickets for $11 each. Proceeds go to the Milpitas Historical Society, except for postage and PayPal fees. Use the PayPal icon on your screen and give me contact information on how to get the tickets to you. If you buy in person, directly from me, tickets are $10.

This was part of the Bay Area Garden Railway Society Backyard Railway Layout Tour that ran all over Silicon Valley this past weekend.

Established in 1988, the Bay Area Garden Railway Society is one of the oldest and largest regional garden railway clubs in the nation. We’ve hosted the National Garden Railway Convention five times, the most recent being the highly successful event held in 2016. We’ve also hosted two West Coast Regional Meets.

Our club aims to help new garden railroaders find the help they need, starting here.

The fire is currently burning in Ed Levin County Park. It is burning in a southeasterly direction toward Weller Road. It has transitioned from grass into heavier brush in a very steep drainage, and is currently threatening the Mt. Allison communications site.

Due to moderation of weather last night, fire behavior diminished and firefighters made good progress.

Watch video from ABC.

If anything real major going on, you can listen in on the emergency radios here. Ones with most listeners usually the most interesting. Listen to Live Feeds. Select “CalFire SCU“.

Do NOT consider playing golf at Summitpointe, walking your dog at the Ed Levin Dog Park, hang gliding at the Ed Levin launch site, or hiking in that area. Some hikers have had to be rescued already.

Santa Clara County Wildfire Incidents
#CountryFire expected to reach 500 acres and reach Weller Road above Calaveras Reservoir. IC, type 3 engine strike teams being placed on Weller Rd on the eastern side of the hill. Temps in the 80s, wind generally out of the west southwest at 10-25 mph pushing most of the smoke from the #CountryFire to the east-northeast and away from the Santa Clara Valley for now. Country Air Attack advising Country IC that the fire will eventually bump Weller Road.

Live video here on CBS. You can see Ed Levin Park, and the pond near the dog park in this video.

Do not consider golfing, riding your horse, walking your dog, or hang gliding until this fire is out and the smoke has cleared.

General area, but up in the hills.
