Firefighters Called To TV Towers At Mount Sugarloaf

BY IAN CROUCH

Firefighters have been called out to the TV Towers on Mount Sugarloaf this morning.

Firefighters from Holmesville and RFS crews from Cameron Park and Seahampton responded to an automatic fire alarm just before 5.00am, arriving to find smoke issuing from a portable building at the transmission site which houses an NBN broadband repeater station.

They managed to gain entry and found a cooling unit for electrical equipment had overheated.

A technician has arrived to attend to the faulty equipment.

There's been no disruption to TV or radio transmissions as a result of the fire.
