Walkers enjoying a quiet stroll in the Welsh countryside captured a shocking sight on Sunday, after a wind turbine burst into flames before exploding.
Nick Blasdale, 61, and his wife Alison, 59, were left stunned when they saw burning parts of a turbine fall more than 100ft to the ground.
Firefighters were called to the blaze at Blaen Bowi Wind Farm near Newcastle Emlyn, Pembrokeshire at 11.46am, but could only watch and make sure passersby didn’t get too close.
Alison said: “We watched the top section burst into flames then drop off whilst still burning then explode when it hit the ground.” …
Mid and West Wales Fire Service said: “Crews responded to a wind turbine which was well alight on their arrival. Pieces of the wind turbine were falling nearby and crews monitored the condition of the debris.”
