(BCN) SAN JOSE San Jose firefighters are responding to reports of explosions from within a four-story building in San Jose that has also drawn responses from a bomb squad and a hazardous materials team.

The fire department responded to the building at 2211 North 1st St. at 7:31 p.m. after being contacted by the building's private alarm company that some windows were broken and several explosions may have occurred inside, according to San Jose Fire Department Capt. Jose Guerrero.

The firefighters report no obvious signs of fire, but it appears there is a haze coming from inside of the building and several windows have been blown out, Guerrero said.

Just posted as a headsup for paypal users. You might want to check your account. I wonder if they were about to be audited.

Is it possible to tell if a window was broken from the outside, like by an intruder, or from the inside, like from an explosion?

Holy Crap! That's one of my favorite running spots in San Jose, and I used to eat lunch there every day!

I used to religiously run laps around that building's block - it is a huge building, that takes up the whole block when you include the parking lot. It's nice because it's a shade under a mile, and eBay / Paypal keeps a well-watered (& thus cushy) lawn around the whole thing, which is just what a big guy like me needs in a running surface.

I know some people who work there, too. Time to send out some e-mails....

Generally speaking they check to see which side of sash the glass shards are located.

Blown out windows and explosion like noises would be consistent with a halon fire extinguishing system going off. The windows blowing out sort of defeats the purpose of the halon but a halon system oversized for the space could easily create enough pressure when discharging to blow out windows.

My husband just heard this on the news so I did a search on FR for Ebay to find the story. Right underneath I found this.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1725588/posts

It was posted on the 25th of October. It is an article about a Christian group that is very upset about Ebay allowing the selling of relics of Saints on their site.

The group said they were calling for a boycott starting on All Saints Day, which is today, Nov.1.
