A wind turbine at RWE's Scroby Sands offshore wind farm in the UK reportedly caught fire Tuesday.
Drone footage, shared by Oliv3r Drone Photography, showed the turbine's nacelle and blade engulfed in flames, releasing thick smoke into the air.
Offshore Engineer has contacted RWE, the wind farm operator, for more info on the incident.
