Update: Arqiva Bath Transmitter – 3 January, 2013 12:33
The fire at our Bath transmitter site has now been officially declared as arson by authorities. The fire is extinguished, without injury to responders and people living in the area. Power supplies have and continue to be isolated. The site has been classified as a crime scene by local police who have sealed the site. We expect to be able to commence repairs early this afternoon.
A ground level visual inspection has been completed by engineers who have confirmed fire damage to multiple feeders. A full detailed damage survey will take place once our engineers are able to climb the structure.
Arqiva engineering is on site and will work around the clock to ensure that services are brought back on air just a soon as is safely possible.
