==2004 incident ==
On August 2, 2004 at 12:58 P.M, just as KFPL's Noon newscast was over for the day, a fire had ignited from an obscure room in the station's studios before instantly turning into a ball of flames in a flashover, said to be caused when a station employee opened the door to said room to address said fire due to complaints of smoke, instantly killing 7 employees and initially injuring 59 (1 would later die in the hospital). This event was said to have costed the station $450K in damaged equipment. This ill-fated disaster spread like wildfire in the media when footage of the aforementioned explosion recorded by 2 college friends was recorded. He said that they were recording a drive through Downtown Paradise City when they spotted thick dark-grey smoke in front of them, immediately heading to where the explosion happened to get some of the staff away from the building as they dialed 911, where the remaining staff were rescued. While KFPL had a new studio under construction, it would not be available for another 3 years so they set up shop at KWBS' studio, as it was the only one with enough room to allow for two stations. Investigations into what happened revealed that the studio was in very bad shape prior to the fire as not only was it lacking in various safety amenities like water sprinklers, frayed wiring, which was to believed to have caused a short-circuit that led to said fire, was found to be a repeated complaint from station staff.
