Lessons learned
- A turbine fire in a built-up area needs a clear public warning and a cordon until the nacelle is confirmed safe.
- Operators should be able to identify the turbine model and site quickly when only a short media report is available.
- Cause and extent of damage should not be assumed until a fuller report exists.
