FIRE AT PACIFICA AFFILIATE
source: Houston Chronicle
In the early morning hours of Oct. 29, someone set fire to Pacifica's Houston outlet, KPFT-FM. Actually the arsonist or arsonists burned down a two-story storage building behind the Houston community station.
A deliberately set fire gutted a storage building at KPFT-FM's Montrose-area offices on the eve of meetings here to determine the liberal station's future.
Two points of origin were found for Friday's fire, which Houston Fire Department investigator Robert Kent said was obviously arson. One KPFT employee said, "It's a pretty poor way to make a statement."
