This article appeared in the Knoxville News Sentinel August 10. Its a long read but has much info on the multiple communications failures during the wildfire last fall. The comment about the "120 million dollar THP radio system" not operating well was interesting...reporter did not elaborate on what was not working. I live in Cleveland and was able to monitor our local fire units operating up there on the TACN fire mutual aid channels with no problem.
