Firefighters extinguished a burning power pole in a San Jose neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon that threatened neighboring homes, authorities said.

Originally, the San Jose Fire Department said on social media that the fire was burning at a single-family home on Peachtree Lane west of Bascom Avenue in the Cory neighborhood between Newhall and W. Hedding Streets.

The initial call came in at 2:50 p.m. and also involved a utility pole on fire with downed power lines, the Fire Department said.

A subsequent social media post said the fire originated at the power pole, and the downed lines spread the fire to a shed and fence.

The fire also caused minor damage to a detached garage. No homes were involved and no injuries were reported, the department said.

Pacific Gas and Electric was on the scene at 3:19 p.m. to de-energize the downed lines.

The fire was brought under control by 4:02 p.m., the department said. 

The exact cause of the fire was undetermined as of Tuesday afternoon.
