An electrical fire at Toronto’s landmark CN Tower was extinguished Wednesday morning after firefighters took turns climbing into an antenna mast to deal with smouldering wiring and insulation. There was nothing to be seen outside except the CN tower. Power was turned off for a period which affected transmisson of some radio statons. For some on Twitter, like Arthur Sinclair, it recalled the 1975 fire during construction. He notes that at the time it was considered the world’s highest fire. This must be a distinction long-since lost to tower blazes elsewhere.
