San Jose neighbors loved the man who was killed by a house fire, but many had also worried that his cluttered property was a hazard.
are mourning the loss of Albert Schell, they say they were always afraid something like this would happen.Those flames, engulfed the house at 871 Menker Sunday evening, claiming the life of the homeowner.He was a Navy veteran, a former pipefitter, and a collector of military memorabilia among other things.
In recent years, however, his collection spilled out of the house, into the yard, even filling cars parked out front, and neighbors began to complain to the city of San Jose. "You can see what it is outside here, you can imagine what it was inside the house," says another neighbor Mark Lucas."In this situation, access was certainly an issue. It delayed crews in conducting that primary search. It also impedes visibility and travel through the interior of the building," says Battalion Chief Patrick Chung, with the San Jose Fire Department. Monday, the neighborhood is grieving.
