I've never seen or heard of this before, but in the major road leading from my little market town into North London right now there's a phone mast on Fire..
anybody ever heard of phone mast fires before ?

Yikes! No, I don't believe I've ever heard of that happening.

 

[hollydolly]

Nope nor me folks... I'm shocked, I didn't really know they could go on fire....

That is probably what I call a cell phone tower and no, never heard of one catching fire.

In my country the Antifa set some cell phone masts on fire. But I've never noticed this kind of self ignition.

 

[Lavinia]

That's worrying. It will be interesting to know what caused it.

Can’t see the photo but they are wired so I‘m not surprised.

Not a mobile mast, but occasionally wind turbines catch fire. It seems that it took a long time to safely extinguish the fire so I wonder if the tower had lithium battery as a back up power source.

Looks like the cables are burning, maybe
an electrical overload.

I'll bet that no-one thought to ask Alexa to fix it.

Sorry to change topic....

Maybe the phone mast caught fire due to all the rubbish passing through

No - never seen that before.
