Fire Destroys 2 Station's Transmitting Tower

A wind-driven brush fire briefly threatened San Jose's landmark Eggo plant Saturday evening, and consumed a nearby building that includes the tower for KSJX, a radio station targeted to an Asian audience.

About 40 workers were evacuated by San Jose Fire fighters from the 475 Eggo Way factory, operated by Kellogg's, which makes the popular frozen waffles there. The building was enveloped in smoke, but there were no injuries to the workers.

According to mercurynews.com, The blaze started shortly before 5 p.m. on a grassy patch of mostly vacant land between the Kellogg's plant and U.S. 101.

Strong winds sent flames into vegetation surrounding the Kellogg's plant, San Jose Fire Department spokesman Robert Culbertson said.

The tower building was consumed in flames and was still burning several hours later.
