It was an electric transmission tower that was supposedly OUT OF SERVICE.
It took a mere 12 seconds for the brush to ignite after the out of service transmission tower arc’d.
(@415FirePhoto) August 4, 2026Many, including myself, were wondering how an out of service transmission tower could cause arcing that would ignite a fire.
If it was an "out of service" transmission tower, how was it able to have ELECTRIC ARCING events??!!
Issues which also include LIVE transmission lines running along side the out of service transmission tower and lines.
