Fire 🔥at the WRMI transmitter site:🌅This evening a piece of wood
caught on fire in our antenna field and caused a brush fire near one of
our 315-degree antennas. 💨 We had to turn off a few transmitters for a
short time, but everything was back to normal very soon. Thanks to the
Okeechobee County Fire Department 💦for their quick action in putting
out the fire.👨🚒🚒
John O'Toole: wow, RF arcing?
WRMI Radio Miami International: Not in this case. I think it was a
wooden crossarm that fell off and touched a transmission line. Sometimes
helium balloons fly in from Orlando or Tampa and do the same thing,
falling and causing a brush fire.
