A fourth Crown Castle tower is torched by arsonists in Memphis

A fourth Crown Castle tower is torched by arsonists in Memphis

In Featured News by Wireless Estimator / May 14, 2020

Memphis, Tennessee police and the city’s fire department are investigating a cell phone tower fire that occurred Monday night that is currently being considered to have been set by vandals.

The structure, a 300-foot self-supporting tower located behind 3513 Southern Ave., is owned by Crown Castle.

It is the fifth cell tower fire that has reportedly been set by arsonists since last December.

Of the five structures, four of them are owned by Crown Castle. A fifth tower torched is owned by SBA Communications.

Although it would be expected that authorities might conclude that Crown Castle towers are being targeted, a review of tower owners in Memphis would easily dissuade that presumption since in the city Crown is the primary provider of structures.

Could it be time for a little secure camera work? Or should we just troll at the local Krispy Kreme?
