Fires damage US radio and tv Tx sites

Uncontrollable fires in California damaged many tv and radio transmission towers as they raged out of control last week.

More than 2,000 homes were destroyed and more than 267,000 hectares of land scorched, with about 10 separate fires currently raging across the state.

The fires are reported to be nearly under control now, with rain, snow, with chilly temperatures assisting firefighters in the mountains in recent days.

Stations KCAL, KFRG and KSGN all had their transmitter sites burnt out during the first. Click the link below to view pictures.
