MILPITAS, Calif. — The Milpitas Fire Department is responding today to a call about a spill of potentially hazardous materials.

Penitencia Creek behind A Tool Shed on South Main Street is clouded with a white substance like paint. A similar incident occurred last month, when the petroleum-based substance was believed to originate somewhere in San Jose. A source was never identified in that case.
