An 80-acre wildfire erupted Tuesday afternoon in the foothills of East San Jose, Northern California, prompting urgent evacuation orders and emergency response efforts. Fueled by dry grass and wind, the fast-moving blaze—dubbed the Ranch Place Fire—quickly spread across rugged terrain, forcing residents in nearby zones to evacuate. Cal Fire, along with local fire crews and aerial support, is working to contain the flames, which remain only partially under control as of Tuesday evening. No injuries or structural damage have been reported so far, but officials are urging residents to stay alert and follow evacuation updates.
