- At 6p on April 9th, 2022 an Arsonist rocked the heart of Silicon Valley by starting a fire at the Home Depot located at 920 Blossom Hill Road in South San Jose. The fully stocked Home Depot was quickly and completely engulfed in flames within minutes of the arsonist setting the blaze, in a misguided attempt to distract the store's staff while he stole a cart full of power tools and goods. This video shows the fire raging, as well as some aerial shots of the aftermath. The footage of the aftermath was filmed after active fire fighting operations had concluded, and while there was no aerial support for the fire, nor any flight restrictions. The follow-up shots were taken 10 months after the blaze, and the building and property looked exactly the same. The only difference was that the building was no longer smoldering.

Ground-based shots were obtained with a Samsung Z Fold on an electric unicycle (EUC). Aerial shots of the aftermath were obtained with a GEPRC Rocket Lite with the DJI Air Unit (DJI FPV), and a GEPRC Mark 5 with a GoPro Hero 11 Black.

10 months is nothing, will be like that for another year or so. First they have to satisfy the insurance adjusters of the actual value of the lost, building and inventory. Second you need a permit to remove the building, in California that process will take a year at least. The value of the property and where it is located is irrelevant. The laws of California are what is making this take so long.
I'm sure they'd like to rebuild,and yes, in the same location, what's the holdup?
That's shameful, that's like holdin a gun on somebody and tellin em not to move. That whole mess is just silly if ya ask me.
And what laws would that be, exactly? Name them.
plus the investigation has to be completed before they start the cleanup process
Yeah, it's a due process. It takes time. Seems forever in California.
Tim is an awesome drone pilot! Thx for capturing!
Thanks, brother! 🙏
Great narration. It is so sad for the employees, suppliers, and customers. We frequented this business when we were in San Jose. CS
I would expect that permitting for a new build store would take half a decade in that community.
Very creepy looking, all those steel shelves melted, i thought HD had sprinkler systems.
It probably did, but with the oils and other products in there wouldn't have done any good
YES! 99% of major stores are required to have fire sprinkler systems. unless someone had turned it off!
I guarantee it did but it probably did not contain it properly.
It mysteriously malfunctioned like they always do when a real fire happens 😂
@coryhoover01 so why install them in the first place?
I suspect Home Depot wants to rebuild and reopen, but can’t get anything done because of the ridiculous California bureaucracy.
Most likely an insurance delay due to the cause of the fire, also it's a crime scene that may not have been released yet.
@@johncford3957 You may be correct about the insurance, but Home Depot is a big rich company that can handle the cost of reopening the store while dealing with the insurance company. Regarding crime scene, it rarely takes more than a few weeks before they release the scene.
It looks like u can walk right in there all wide open. Great video. Drones are so cool
If it is rebuilt, it will be done before MAUI gets any help, in their case it's a land grab, very prime real estate. In this location, maybe they decided it wasn't profittable enough to rebuild? Because in Cali, they were allowing people steal up to 1000$ of werchandise per day, which most of us feel is insane, but, that's Gavin Newsom for ya...
Its going to be turned into apartments, waggly is not reopening and I believe at some point harbor freight is going to be relocated
The Maui fires was in around July 2023.
Love the narrating, and the story based approach that accompanys your flight.
Thanks! I was hoping to add a little context to make the video more engaging and relevant. 🤠👍
Insurance is dragging its feet.
Wouldn’t be surprised at all if it was never rebuilt. Nothing destroys businesses like California.
Business do just fine here. California has one of the fastest growing economies in the US, and is the 5th largest economy in the world. Stop believing the right-wing lies.
Until an earthquake shakes. @@JWRogersPS
California is roundup for businesses😂
@@chris76-01 The business growth rate in California is higher than the national average. Stop listening to right-wing lies about California.
That is why California has the largest economy in the US and would be the Worlds fifth largest economy if it were its own country. But you can't fix stupid and you are stupid.
When I look at this then look at a lowes store regardless if they have spacing in the shelving to deter fire... Fire In a Home Improvement store with chemicals, Oils, Lumber, Paint, Insulation.... Fire will get out of control real fast if it's not dealt with in minutes even if there is a sprinkler system... if it gets going good enough the fire will evaporate any water from those sprinklers and turn the entire building into a raging inferno.
None of the things you mentioned would start a plasma fire though, which is what this looks like
Insurance squabbles, I'm sure. We had an EF-1 tornado in town a year ago and folks are still fighting to get their insured properties fixed.
Wow at least we know the person that started it. He is 100% liable for this
Did you watch him do it?
This was my local Home Depot for decades being from the Almaden Valley area only a mile+ away. There cannot be enough of a penalty for someone who would put so many innocent lives at risk.
Any further update? Been close to two years now.
They finally began demolition.
It is possible they are still fighting ins. Co and it might still be an active crime scene
Yep, you don't tear down a thing till insurance company settles. This may sit like this for YEARS because since it was arson, insurance company probably won't pay. I believe they have video of it starting and if none of the employees noticed the fire or made no attempt to put it out, that will be the reason insurance company won't pay. Happens ALL the time with fires that involve businesses.
Sad part is if someone tried putting it out and got hurt they wouldn't cover that either. Insurance company's are a racket and never want to pay
Most likely
The customers of that store were probably not inconvenienced all that much since there is probably a few Home Depot locations not far from this one. There are probably Lowe’s stores in the area as well. These large home improvement stores have saturated almost every city and town in the US and beyond! About 20 years ago, Home Depot wanted to build a store in a new shopping center close to wheee I live. The local residents fought against it and won. There was already a Lowe’s like two miles away, and another Home Depot like three or four miles from the once proposed location.
So are they gonna rebuild the Home Depot store in San Jose?
I do not know
I wonder whats in the box on the top shelf at the start of video.
Probably fire retardent...lol
Wow I would have figured that they would at least bulldozed and cleaned it up....
Nobody wants to clean up that mess😂
Let’s pray everything goes well and pray for Christ
That’s nuts soo much lost and ruined
Did it ever get rebuilt after the fire.
No
obviously no 😭
I'm surprised the neighboring building wasn't a total loss as well. That is gonna be one he'll of a cleanup. The demo crew will make good on all that steel.
wow not in a hurry?!?
Apparently not...🤷♂️
looks like the Santana Row fire so sad😢
I love you and you love me. That's what makes us a happy family! Ohh! Yeah! Uhh huh!
🤘🤣
Insurance scam artists holding up payments
OH NO😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Why would you ever want to rebuild in a blue state this bad?
Blue states have much stronger economies than red states - better educated populations with more income. California has the 5th largest economy in the entire world.
@@JWRogersPSAnd the worst laws, particularly concerning crime and criminal punishment.
@@scanman975 Not true at all. More right-wing lies.
What kind of jail sentence did the arsonist get?
14-60 or life in prison 7 counts of arson
In California the way they do things he will get a slap on the wrist and be declared a victim.
@@Reaglesracing44_ 14-60 days, it is California.
Gets promoted to city fire Marshall 😂
@@chris76-01 our system performed as normal in this incident 😆🤣 it was our new bluetooth feature
Home Depot must have money to err burn!! Sorry, I'll see myself out 😆
No bond what so ever
What happened to the FIRE SUPRESSION SYSTEM?
all melted under the severe heat. had little to no affect on it
I work at home depot tho I did not work at this one I do work with many who did work at that store they've all said the same thing, fire suppression system did not go off at all
It never seems to work when it's needed the most. It's just there for decoration and to keep the sprinkler company in Business 😊
I worked Home Depot in NY on closing shifts…..1st… an accelerant was used, as the materials in that area don’t light with in minutes. 2nd… there is usually a Home Depot rep/special services rep would of spot it immediately & the SUPPRESSION SYSTEM was FAULTY, as the rest of the building would of been soaked and not burned as such as the ignited area!
A properly functioning automatic fire sprinkler system would’ve stopped this fire before it got going. According to one of the news stories on this incident, there was a record of fire code violations at this location. According to NFPA 25, a fire sprinkler system should be inspected and water flowed quarterly. One of the most common things that causes a fire sprinkler systems to fail is a shut valve. The valves on site should be electronically supervised, but the alarm system must also be functioning. In my 20+ year career in fire protection, I once inspected a building that had the fire main shut off by the city. When I contacted them they swore up and down that the problem was on the property. I saw a city works truck stop on the street out front and turn on the valve, then miraculously the water came back on. After questioning the occupants of the building, they said that the city works came by a few weeks earlier and warned them that the culinary water world be turned off for a few hours. They said that the water came back on and they didn’t really worry about anything else, except that the city works forgot to turn the fire main back on. That’s why inspections are important. I suspect that if Home Depot is found negligent for not doing their due diligence, they’ll be on the hook for this loss. They’re just lucky that nobody was seriously hurt or killed or they’d be on the hook for a possible injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
😮
They need to sue their insurance company to speed up rebuilding.
🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁LION c LIKE No. 55
That fire isn’t the biggest, wild fires are much bigger.
I never said it was the biggest...🤷♂️
المزيد لكم إن شاءالله
California is a joke 😂
Thank the lib voters.
WTF 🤬 ! Can’t believe that nothing has been done ✅, to clean up 🧹 and rebuild. “Burned out husk” you have a ear for corny terminology 😮😅😂😊
🤘🤣. I can't believe that nothing has been done, either. That property has great location, and is worth millions. Yet, it's just sitting there looking unsightly.
I wonder how many toxic chemicals leached into the soil of the surrounding neighborhood during these recent rain storms. All which could have been prevented had they cleaned it up during the last 9 months of dry weather...🤷♂️ so many people dropping so many balls...😬
