SAN JOSE – More than two dozen Porta Potties and an assortment of vehicles went up in flames at a South San Jose wrecking yard late Tuesday, authorities said.
The two-alarm fire was reported about 9:25 p.m. at A-1 Auto Dismantlers at 200 Hillsdale Ave., said San Jose fire Capt. Peter Caponio.
“One of our crews was initially brought out here for a smoke investigation, and they found 100-foot flames in the auto yard, where there’s probably 30 or so Porta Potties and a bunch of dismantled cars,” Caponio said.
Flames could be seen from the nearby West Wind Capitol Drive-In, which was open at the time.

Caponio said the fire burned up a pole and felled some power lines, adding to the danger.
The fire was “damped down pretty good” as of about 10:15 p.m., said Caponio, adding that there were no injuries.
“It hasn’t spread to any of the businesses yet,” he said. “It’s just basically in the yard.”
Caponio said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
