“The Home Depot is pretty much a total loss, the roof is pretty much collapsed from the entire structure,” San Jose Fire Department battalion chief Brad Cloutier told KGO at the time. The five-alarm fire was reported around 5 p.m. He is set to enter a plea at a court hearing on June 1. If convicted as charged, Gogue could face 14 years to life in prison, according to Rosen. “We respect the strong feelings in the community and are waiting for the investigative materials to come in.” “We are glad there were no physical injuries,” Gogue’s attorney, Christopher Yuen, told CNN. In a court appearance Tuesday, Gogue did not enter a plea and was ordered held without bond. Gogue faces 10 felony counts, including aggravated arson, arson of an inhabited structure or property, and grand theft, plus three petty theft misdemeanors, charging documents show. In addition to arson, Gogue is charged with a string of thefts in the area dating back to October, according to court documents. Gogue was arrested Friday, the release from prosecutors said. This fire - set during business hours - could so easily have left bodies in the rubble,” Rosen said in the news release. “I am thankful this was not a multiple murder case. The loss of the entire building is “tens of millions of dollars more,” Rosen noted during the news conference.

“The flames quickly enveloped and destroyed the entire 98,827 square foot store causing an estimated $17 million in inventory loss,” the release said.

Gogue allegedly lit the fire and tried to leave the store with a cart full of tools, but was stopped by an employee and fled, the release said. The flames “sent employees and customers running for their lives,” Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said during a news conference Tuesday.
