San Jose, CA, May 28, 2025— A brush fire broke out Tuesday afternoon near the Guadalupe Recycling Facility, prompting a swift and coordinated response from firefighters and air support units. The blaze was successfully contained before it could spread to nearby structures. At approximately 3:04 p.m., multiple reports of smoke and flames were received from the area around 15999 Guadalupe Mines Road. Firefighters arrived on the scene and discovered an active fire burning in the brush adjacent to the recycling center. Given the potential for the fire to grow, crews quickly requested aerial assistance. Two air tankers and a helicopter were deployed to help ground crews suppress the flames. Thanks to the combined efforts, the fire was contained at an estimated 5 to 7 acres. No structures were damaged, and no injuries have been reported.

On the night of May 23, 2025, a tragic collision occurred in Long Beach, California, involving a vehicle and a Metro train, resulting in the death of a 21-year-old woman from Compton. The incident took place just before midnight near the intersection of 12th Street and Long Beach Boulevard. According to the Long Beach Police Department, the woman was driving a 2014 Infiniti Q50S southbound on Long Beach Boulevard at a high rate of speed without headlights on. Simultaneously, a 29-year-old man driving a 2019 Honda Accord attempted to make a southbound turn from Anaheim Street onto Long Beach Boulevard. To avoid a rear-end collision, the Honda driver swerved and struck a guardrail. The Infiniti driver also swerved but lost control and collided with a Metro train. The woman was transported to a local hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries. Two male passengers in the Infiniti sustained non-life-threatening injuries. No injuries were reported aboard the train. Authorities are investigating speed and impaired driving as potential factors in the collision.
