[BC] And Portland, too: 50kw KPNW 1120 Off The Air - FIRE!

[Larry Bloomfield]

Knowing the CE involved and living within 65 miles from Eugene, without 
any additional information, the company probably didn't listen to him 
and they're paying the price. It's also difficult for me to believe the 
temps in that area were all that high. The PD is more than likely trying 
to cover his you know what. As companies make cuts in everything 
including having enough competent personal to take care of their gear, 
they're going to learn the hard way. This CE is very sharp and my best 
goes out to him. I know that he'll have help from any of the guys in our 
SBE chapter 76, should he need it, but I also hope that the company he 
works for listens to him about conditions at that transmitter site.
