SAN JOSE, Calif. – San Jose firefighters raced to put out a 3-alarm fire Monday morning at a Buddhist temple, where there had been a similar fire last year.

San Jose firefighters wrote on social media that the call came in at 5:37 a.m. regarding the fire at Chua Duyen Giac Buddhist temple on the 90 block of Foss Avenue. 

There was no one inside the two-story building at the time, and therefore, no injuries, San Jose firefighters said. The roof did partially collapse, though. 

The cause of the fire has not been revealed. 

The temple suffered another 3-alarm fire on May 13, 2024.
