CarPlay take over as audio source

Whenever I drive by a particular place in town, my new Ford F150 radio automatically switches from Sirius XM to Apple CarPlay. Don’t know if it’s a Ford issue, or an Apple issue. Any idea what might be causing it? For context it’s near a fire dispatch center so I don’t know if something weird is happening in the radio waves around this area. Thoughts?
