Fire control received 999 calls reporting a wind turbine on fire, near Chulmleigh, Devon.
Two fire engines were sent and on arrival crews confirmed this turbine was well alight from the engine, at the top of the turbine, approx 30 metres high.
Crews set up a cordon and waited for the owner to turn up.
The owner was able to isolate the turbine, which was severely damaged by fire.
The cause of the fire was accidental.
