[Andrew Clegg]

"While maintaining that all guidelines were followed, the investigation 
found improperly programmed radios, vague updates, and a 30-minute 
communication blackout just before the flames engulfed the men."

There's not a lot more detail than quoted above in the news article. Perhaps 
the actual report is more revealing.
