The carrier is on standby to begin transport Tuesday Morning and operational staff to begin assembly of the equipment. Controlled demolition of the tower will follow.

Site work will continue on removing other parts of the structure and site prep for the equipment into Monday. ODOT has been advised of the urgency of the situation as well as provided a letter from Chief Joe Hartings of Chickasaw FD. FIRST ONSITE will provide updates when known.

St. John Bricks
FIRST ONSITE has been asked to preserve a large pile of bricks on the West parking lot that can be used in the future as a memorial, given to parishioners and perhaps used for fundraising. Bricks will be stored in the restricted area until they can be safely cleaned for use/distribution.

Please note: Parking lots and areas surrounding St. John Church are being blocked off for safety. Do not enter any restricted areas.
