Santa Clara County Fire Department responded two alarms to this residential fire in Los Gatos, January 25th, 2010. This video features still photos from the incident. To jump in before the question is asked, no, they don't normally send a Type III to a structure fire in January - but as the fire started around 6:00am when the next day's crew came on at 8 they used Engine 308, which is a reserve Wildland rig, to drive Engine 8's crew to the scene and relieve Sunday's crew. The crew change was done and 308 drove back to the station.

Also you will notice Fire Support Unit 2 on scene, this is operated and staffed by the volunteer members of the Fire Associates of Santa Clara Valley, who provide rehab and canteen service to the eleven fire departments in Santa Clara County on multi alarm incidents.
