A fire has destroyed a turbine and caused multiple spot fires at a wind turbine farm in Redhill, located in the state’s Mid North.

5 CFS crews are currently working to create an exclusion zone around the collapsing wind turbine. The firefighters are staying on top of spot fires created by falling debris where possible while remaining clear from the turbine collapse zone.

Firefighters are expected to remain on scene for some time while the head of the turbine continues to burn out. The estimated damage amount of the impacted turbine is $2.2 million.

The cause of the fire is currently unknown.
