Firefighters have been tackling a blaze at the top of a wind turbine in Hull, with smoke being seen across the city.

Pictures showed the gearbox section on fire, with the blades also affected. Eyewitnesses described seeing burning debris falling to the ground.

The 410ft (125m) tall turbine is on Oak Road in the city, near the Croda chemicals manufacturing site.

Humberside Fire and Rescue said crews attended after receiving "multiple calls" about the blaze.

Planning documents show the turbine was approved in 2007 and can generate 2MW of electricity. It helped to power the chemical plant, which is on the banks of the River Hull.

Images from the scene showed parts of the turbine falling to the ground and burning in the long grass below.

The flames are now out but the turbine has been left blackened, BBC pictures show.

Sean Casey, who works nearby, said he noticed the fire just after 07:00 BST on Wednesday morning.

"We started evacuating just for safety, and then the flames started," he said.

"It was quite horrendous to watch.

"The flames got quite intense. We were fearful that it might drop. We could see the bits dropping, all the cars have got debris on them."

Debris from the turbine can be seen on the ground nearby, August 3, 2022

Hull City Council said it had placed barriers around the lake and children's play area at the nearby Oak Road playing fields to protect visitors, and asked people to avoid the area.

"We ask that residents avoid the area until the barriers have been removed," the authority said.

The Harbour Master had also been made aware that people should avoid using pleasure craft on the River Hull which passes close by the wind turbine site, the council added.

Comment: Fires and failures are more common to wind turbines than the public seems to be aware of:

Ineffective, costly, environmentally unfriendly and boy do they need a big hole in which to get rid of these non recyclable parts.

The gear boxes on those things take a lot of oil. Carbon free my arse.

The ones they're building out at sea are the stupidest.... Just imagine the wear and tear plus corrosion of 24x7 salt water spray...

Safe & effective just like about anything else they're building back better .. After I heard there are slaughterhouses being built in areas where is no supply of cattle and the elites obsession with cannibalism (whether it's a psyop or not, as anyone can post on Twitter but only certain people do NOT get banned), I'm thinking the days when the living will envy the dead might still come, as life in world where everything falls apart due to stupid anti-life ideology, utter incompetence of workers and inefficient woke designs applied to just about any field of human activity for the purpose of MONETIZATION of every social and barter activity with giving "due respects" via taxes and carbon/social credit score to the masters of the global system, the sovereign cannibals

Failing wind turbines with huge carbon footprint themselves (just think of the fiberglass and epoxy, lots of oil, electronics.. all of it involves carbon and carbohydrates at some point or the other, including energy input in production and assembly..) and not even able to produce a steady output or have the means to conserve energy for later use are what precisely fits into this dystopian technocratic vision of the future they plan for us.. They're still advancing at their 4th IR though, automatization and robotic factories can solve a lot of problems with need of skilled workers and having to pay them enough for them to feed their families..

However I cannot imagine all of this electro-technocratic system supplied by "renewable resources" (including wood from shrinking European forests in case of EU) and with citizens riding their rented e-bikes and occasional e-cars to work and living on a bug diet (it supposedly doesn't need much cooking or heating though, except for when you want to imitate traditional foods, after all it's "all the protein you need" ) and led towards embracement of the worst passions and desires can be long-term succesful, if the success is not sought in ultimate destruction of all good and living = work of the Wicked one/Satan/Devil whatever one prefers to call it..

But if we can see the destruction of Europe and USA as a necessity for them (to destroy the middle class forever), it all makes sense why we're the ones who get all the deviations in mind and body shoved down our throats, jabbed into us etcetera, it's just necessary to ease the process from inside AND outside, while the rest of the world sees some justice in it, as happened with Sodom & Gomorrah, they've destroyed themselves first and then were destroyed by God, providing a great relief to the rest of the people of that time.. and if we accept the "time" as a cyclical pattern structure, we can see the iterations of the same rise & fall of multiple civilizations, it always ends up this way, but new cultures will rise from the ashes, if anyone manages to survive this stupid Total Control system of the Beast.. I count on the Sun and a real nice solar flare frying all the electronics worldwide at some point in the future, even though the headache from THAT would probably kill me, it would be still worth it though

Seriously, "renewable" and "sustainable"? What the hell does that mean for the "cannibal" bankster that sees his lesser fellows as cattle to make profit from and abuse and harvest for organs to live longer & so on ad nauseam .. I think everyone can answer for himself, what the "stakeholders" & investors ultimate motives are: to OWN everyone's mind including children and have control over their birth and education like some MK Ultra programme..
