Many residents and businesses in Morgan Hill have experienced spotty or nonexistent cellular and Wi-Fi service after a construction crew accidentally destroyed a high-bandwidth fiber optic line the morning of Aug. 8, according to authorities.
Fire crews quickly extinguished a residential structure fire on the patio of an apartment complex Wednesday afternoon, authorities said. Fire trucks responded to the fire at 215 Del Monte Avenue about 4:30 p.m. CalFire Battalion Chief Brandon Leitzke called the blaze a “small fire,” and did not result in any injuries or significant damage. The initial investigation determined the fire was caused by a lit cigarette discarded “too close to combustible” materials, Leitzke said.
