Lessons learned
- Treat headline-only reports of turbine fires as unconfirmed until a full account names the site and outcome.
- Nacelle fires can destroy a turbine before crews can reach it, so detection and shutdown matter.
- Keep a clear record of location and asset identity so later reports can be matched.
