Not reported.
- Solar sites should have a current site plan and pre-incident information pack available to the local fire service, covering array isolation points, inverter and transformer locations and access routes.
- Vegetation management and separation distances around inverters, combiner boxes and transformers reduce the risk of a local fault spreading.
- Early public reporting is often limited to a single headline, so operators should log and internally investigate such events promptly rather than waiting for external detail.
