In the 90s I was working a summer job as a forest fire fighter, and one morning the radio kept constantly beeping on one channel. Nobody could figure it out until a couple of hours later we got a call about a fire on a hillside on the other side of town. It turned out there was a radio repeater on the hill and the fire had burned through its power line, so it was beeping to tell us it was running on batteries.
