    I love the term 'incident' when what they really mean is a fire. Also of
    course there were rumours that the mast itself has asbestos inside it, that
    is the old mast, and this is a health hazard now.I thought the whole idea of asbestos was to resist fire?

    Where have you heard about the asbestos ?

    There's likely to be a carcinogenic mess of melted insulation from all
    the feeders that are in there.
    It's not just telly and radio at Bilsdale, there are scores of other
    users, so scores of feeders,

    That's what the fire and rescue services call them.
