A total of 14 ambulances responded, and 14 patients were transported to local hospitals, according to SJFD.
The fire department did not disclose what prompted the medical emergencies. San Jose police told local outlets that several people were being treated for suspected alcohol intoxication and drug-related issues, according to Rolling Stone.
The conditions of those hospitalized were not released.
San Jose police assisted with traffic control, and all fire department resources returned to service around 10:34 p.m., SJFD said.
