(Bloomberg) — A wind turbine in southern Sweden caught fire early on Thursday, the local Fire and Rescue service said.
The alarm came in at 2:45 a.m.
and when the service arrived, the nacelle that houses the generating components was still burning while two blades had fallen off and caused a ground fire, said Jorgen Bjork, the commanding officer at the service.
Another blade was still on fire at about 5 a.m.
when the fire on the ground had been extinguished, Bjork said by phone.
The wind turbine is about 70 meters tall, said Bjork, who wasn’t able to disclose the manufacturer.
