[EAS] a note of interest

[Mike McCarthy]

I will also suggest one check with the local fire and building code on 
maximum amount of fuel permissible on site and minimum distances to 
structures and set-backs. One of our studios has a very tight lot and 
we're limited to 48-60 hours of fuel on-site (450Gal) due to the setback 
from the property line, utilities, and to the buildings.  Everyone 
agreed we wanted to have a 1000 gallon tank, but the reality is the fire 
marshal emphatically said "no" given the surrounding residential area.  
This despite we're the only stations actually within in the City of 
Chicago operating in a building we own with co-located transmitters for 
two stations and a generator to run them.
