As a precaution, and to ensure that the stair way is available to engineers
arriving onsite, the only egrees for engineers is the SkyJump.

Thanks, power bumped feed 4 times. Any idea if the device / area in question has been isolated and is it on L47 / L48? ----- Original Message ----- From: Simon Allard To: Antonio Pavletich ; nznog Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2010 2:37 PM Subject: RE: [nznog] A seriously bad situation - Fire at SkyTower if you don't know what's going on there!

I've just come back. Power is restored, as most of you will have already noticed. Fire was in the 11K generator room. There was no vodafone 3G coverage in the tower at the time, but vodafone GSM worked. I opted not to walk all the way up, and instead took nagios alerts as proof that power had returned.
