About

The Burges Towers were built in the 1980s as a place for the workers of Tolman Power Station to live. The old slums where they used to reside were cleared and replaced by the huge concrete structures. The standard of living increased a tenfold because of the towers. The residents now had running hot and cold water, as well as central heating. People living in them jokingly called them the bourgeois towers. However, after the first few years it became clear that living in a concrete appartment block also had its disadvantages.

After the outbreak the catastrophic failure of the Tolman Power Station partly destroyed the towers. Despite the rescue operation many died in the incident. Now survivors still occupy the building. Some try to send signals from it across the border. The WWSIS uses it as a vantage point from where to look for zombies near the plant and compile their Zombie Sighting Bulletine for LURCS.
