Turner says she lost four cats and her car in the fire.
It’s been nearly a week since three homes in East San Jose caught fire, two of them destroyed. Now one of the homeowners is talking about losing her family home of 40 years.Heather Turner says she and her family moved to the home on Sand Point Drive in June 1984. She says she never thought she’d lose it in a fire but hopes she can build there again. Turner says she was home alone when her house caught on fire late Sunday afternoon.
That’s how I felt walking out of here," said Turner. She’s now staying with her sister and going through the insurance claims process. Two other homes on Sand Point Drive also caught fire, leaving some residents displaced. The San Jose Fire Dept. enclosed the fire-damaged homes with a gate and says no new information is available in their investigation. "I hear that it’s going to be a total loss," said Turner.
