The police think a technical defect was the cause. The operator of the wind turbine, Cerventus, estimates that the damage will amount to around one million euros.]

Im Windpark auf dem Hungerberg bei Kirchheimbolanden (Donnersbergkreis) brannte am Donnerstag ein Windrad. Die Flammen waren von Weitem zu sehen. Die Polizei geht von einem technischen Defekt als Brandursache aus. Der Betreiber des Windrads, Cerventus, geht von einem Schaden von rund einer Million Euro aus. Da ein Feuerwehreinsatz in dieser Höhe nicht gefahrlos möglich war, wurde das Feuer sich selbst überlassen, der Bereich um die Anlage abgesperrt. Die Einsatzkräfte warnen davor, sich der Anlage zu nähern.
