CAUSE OF PACIFIC SEAFOODS FIRE
According
to investigators, the cause of the fire at Pacific Coast Seafoods Co. in
Warrenton on June 4th was caused by maintenance being done on the
roof of the facility. Pacific Coast Seafoods Co had installed several new vents
in the roof of the plant and was having several leaks repaired. The vents were
being sealed using a propane torch to apply a “torch down” material around
them. This heating ignited the underside of the roof and burned in the void
space for as long as an hour before being noticed.
The
investigation into the fire, which destroyed the processing facility on
Skipanon Drive, involved the State Fire Marshal, Oregon State Police, Clatsop
County Fire Investigation Team, Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives, and insurance investigators from Case Forensics.

Patrick, you beat Tom Freel, so you win. Thanks, I was betting on you.
That Freel's a real slacker isn't he but, of course, you can count on KAST - AM replaying it every hour for the next three or four weeks.
You really did win. Tom took his website down. I guess he decided he could not compete with the master.
Facebook, if you're looking for anything Freel these days.
