Two arduous cleanup efforts loomed Sunday afternoon after massive fires broke out a day earlier on opposite ends of the Bay Area — razing a Home Depot in San Jose while laying waste to a dock and pier at the Port of Benicia.
As the charred remains of both areas continued to smolder, officials in each city made plans Sunday to begin taking stock of damage wrought by the fires. A San Jose city councilman vowed to find out what could be provided to help the retailer rebuild, while a top Benicia city official voiced concerns of major economic challenges for the region.
