Fisher Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSCI) today issued the
following statement regarding Thursday evening's electrical fire at
Fisher Plaza East:
Last night at approximately 11:10 pm, an incident in a
garage-level electrical room disrupted power to Fisher Plaza East
and knocked out the facility's backup generation system. The
electrical room is where Fisher Plaza East receives its power from
Seattle City Light.
Fisher officials, CP Management and Egis Engineering have been
coordinating with Seattle City Light to restore power to the
building. Fisher is bringing in electrical generators to restore
power to the building, at which time it can further assess the
situation. The Company is working to restore normal service to its
customers as soon as possible.
Fisher Plaza East houses data and network operations and
co-location facilities for several companies. Fisher regrets any
inconvenience these companies or their customers may have
experienced as a result of this incident.
KOMO-TV, KUNS-TV and Fisher's Seattle radio properties (KOMO
1000, KPLZ and KVI) also are based in the building. All of these
stations continue to broadcast, except for KVI, which will resume
service as soon as power is restored to Fisher Plaza East.
The cause of the electrical fire remains under investigation,
and the Company is working closely with Seattle City Light and
outside experts to determine what caused this incident.
There were no injuries.
