So much for being clean. A toxic fiberglass fire, oil, plastics, and whatever else makes up the internals and externals of a wind turbine. This happens all over the world and will be more frequent as the Wind Turbines age and die.
Fire fighters did not have the capability to put out the fire so they let it burn until it could burn no more.
A wind turbine is on fire at a wind farm near Palmerston North. Emergency services were called to the site near Aokautere, Palmerston North, at 2.40pm, a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson said. “It’s a windmill on fire,” he said. Four fire trucks and a tanker responded but left shortly after 4pm, as they were “unable to assist”, he said. The fire was being left to burn overnight under the management of on-site contractors.
