As my little knowledge the Wind turbines manufactured today incorporate the highest quality and safety standards, but the potential for a fire always exists when electronics, flammable oils and hydraulic fluids exist in the same enclosure. Given the remote nature of the Turbines (mounted over 100 feet in the air or off shore), little can be done from a traditional fire-fighting perspective. If these multi-million-dollar units are to be saved, a Fire-Suppression System must be installed in the Nacelle. I think it is our duty to save our wind turbines for best future.
