The fire service received a report about the fire from a tipster who saw that there was a fire in the area. – There is a fire at the top of the turbine. It is probably hydraulic oil that is burning, which means that it will be able to burn for a while, said Anja Lereng, supervisor at the 110 center in M\u00f8re og Romsdal to news at 08.30. At around 11.00 the fire service reports that the fire has been extinguished. Both the fire service and the police have now left the scene. – There are no longer any signs of visible flames or smoke from the turbine. Natural cooling with precipitation is taking place, the fire service informs. Risk of fallout The fire brigade has blocked off an area around the turbines. For a while there was a danger that parts could come loose from the turbine, which would again fall to the ground. – It is important that people respect the barriers and keep their distance, says Lereng. The fire brigade did not start extinguishing work, as it was not possible to get up to the turbines. There are no houses in the vicinity and there was also no danger that the fire would spread in the terrain. The police have launched an investigation into the incident. – It’s a bit difficult to get to, so we haven’t been able to do any investigations there yet, but we are opening a case on the incident, says Arild Reite, operations manager in M\u00f8re and Romsdal police district. It is so far unclear what caused a wind turbine on Har\u00f8ya to catch fire on Wednesday morning. Photo: Tipser The cause is unclear The existing wind power plant on Har\u00f8ya was first seen in operation in December 1999. Sand\u00f8y Vindkraft AS received a new license for a wind power plant on the island in 2022 and since then a number of upgrades have been carried out. The company now has five wind turbines in operation in the area. All of these have now stopped as a result of the fire. – We changed houses and lived in all of them last autumn. The company Vestas was recently here and serviced them, says daily manager of Sand\u00f8y Vindkraft, Johannes St\u00f8rk Huse. He says that Vestas will send personnel to investigate the cause of the fire, either today or tomorrow. – We are curious as to what the cause is. We were recently up in the turbines and then everything looked good. We hope that the extent of the damage will not be too great, says Huse.
