Reason #252 not to live near a cell tower. Electrical fires happen when components break down or wiring goes faulty. They have been known to start forest fires and leave air pollution and toxic soot in neighborhoods.

Just say NO to towers near homes. For all the reasons.

Here is a list, by no means comprehensive, of cell tower electrical fires if you would like to learn more. These are not nefarious fires. Please let's not go there in discussing genuine, legitimate electrical faults.

"The emergency order lays out the board’s conclusions from a year and a half of studying the cell tower at 877 South St. In the order, the board finds that the cell tower “is a public nuisance,” and “a cause of sickness” that it “directly causes harm to certain individuals, and renders dwellings unfit for human habitation.”

$84,000 is a small price to pay for protecting human health, it averages out to around $4,200 per person harmed. Not everyone is privileged to be able to afford to move. No one should have to choose their home or their health, sleep in cars, unheated trailers, dilapidated heatless homes, or double up with those who will take them in.

Yes, this case is still in litigation.

If the tower was sited away from homes, elsewhere on the 40 acre lot, it wouldn't have to be.

Thank you to the beautiful souls who sent money to replace our damaged cell tower yard signs. They tucked $100 dollar bills by inspirational passages to support getting us and our sickened neighbors safely home.

Thank you for your care and for being our .

We are so incredibly humbled and .

By the time it’s visible — it’s already damaged the environment.

Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 limits how much local communities can factor in health and environmental concerns in cell tower placement decisions.

It’s time we start prioritizing and protecting our environment.

Neurological effects from cell towers are reported all around the world.

In every single country, the medical findings and symptoms are the same. Here is a FCC summary of 28 cell tower investigation findings. is not alone. There is so much we can do to help those impacted and prevent this from happening again.

Children injured after tower placed in front yard. The tower was eventually turned off, but only after the family moved.

Listen to those with lived experience. They are the ones suffering. Nobody, and I mean nobody publicly discloses and shares their stories and subject themselves to shame, stigma and criticism because they don't like how something looks outside their home. They share because they are sick and suffering and want to prevent that same suffering from happening to others.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

No one wants to be blindsided by a cell tower. Safe homes & streets become dangerous ones from the moment the tower is activated. The numbers don't lie. The science doesn't either.

It's Earth Day today. (Happy Earth Day to you!) Over the years this page has shared a lot of information about the health risks to people from artificial electromagnetics fields (EMFs) - for example those used to facilitate wireless communications such as 5G - but not nearly as much as how technologies that many people find convenient can adversely affect the natural world. Today's link is to a presentation on how ERMFs can affect plant health and metabolism.

Calling for safer siting doesn't stop towers. It simply balances the needs of the community with placing hazardous industrial infrastructure where it's most appropriate.

And in a neighborhood, near children, is never appropriate.

JAMA Oncology studies show that radiofrequency radiation can cause a host of health issues – it can harm fetal growth and development, affect the reproductive system, change brain metabolism, and increase the risk of tumor development.

Concerns about cancer risks are especially critical when it comes to our children, for two reasons. They’re exposed from the time they’re in the womb and throughout their lifetime. And research shows their bodies absorb more radiofrequency radiation than adults.

Sound public health policy depends on assessing and identifying the sources of cancer risk. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, in 2011 classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Studies have only strengthened since this time.

With more children and adults becoming sick due to poor placement of polls next to homes, we are overdue for better policies and protections for all.
