Intermittent Interference

I'm trying to troubleshoot the source of intermittent interference to my TV signal. It happens specifically on physical channel 45 which also has the weakest reception of all channels, yet comes in crystal clear otherwise. According to TV Fool the channel is in green territory, 37.4 dB.

The interference manifests itself as picture freeze lasting 1 to 2 seconds, repeating at times less than a minute apart sometimes, at other times no freezing for 10 to 15 minutes. It happens day or night and doesn't seem to be any better or worse under different weather conditions.

It is located in an attic without any electrical wiring in its directional path, at the end of the house closest to the tv towers. There are trees in the path. None at the present have leaves.

Not sure if this makes any difference but there's a police and fire transmitter directly, and I mean directly in line, roughly 1/2 mile away. Could this possibly be the source of interference?
