kilometres around has burnt itself out, but not before generating multiple calls to the NSW Rural Fire Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six crews responded just after 6 am this morning (5 January) to the turbine fire off the Hume Highway at the wind farm on Lerida Road at Breadalbane, southwest of Goulburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the blaze on the 90-metre-high turbine mast was well out of reach and crews could only keep a watching brief to ensure there were no spot fires in the surrounding grassland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

deal with bush and, particularly this year, grass fires,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cause of the fire was not known and Mr. Allan could not say if a weather event such as a lightning strike from recent storms had sparked the blaze.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/the-riotact.com\/fiery-spectacle-as-wind-turbine-ignites-near-goulburn\/626247\" target=\"_blank\"

management. STT\u2019s NSW operatives \u2013 who were on the scene and took the video below \u2013 reported that the conditions were cool with light rain, rather than 42\u00b0C with a howling northerly; which is part and parcel of Australia\u2019s summer weather, and the type that has rural folk on high alert and on a constant lookout for smoke and the terror that follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if you\u2019re one of the unfortunates with these things speared into your backyard, STT suggests you check your insurance policy is up-to-date (and your property is fully covered for damage caused by fire); your fire-fighting equipment is primed up and ready to go; and, if that fails, you\u2019ve got a prearranged escape route to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/video.wordpress.com\/embed\/0sIbMvVU?hd=0&amp;autoPlay=0&amp;permalink=1&amp;loop=0&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;muted=0&amp;playsinline=0&amp;controls=1&amp;cover=1\">https:\/\/video.wordpress.com\/embed\/0sIbMvVU?hd=0&amp;autoPlay=0&amp;permalink=1&amp;loop=0&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;muted=0&amp;playsinline=0&amp;controls=1&amp;cover=1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"532\" data-attachment-id=\"238465\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=238465\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-313.png?fit=1180%2C748&amp;ssl=1&amp;wsr\" data-orig-size=\"1180,748\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"image-313\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-313.png?fit=840%2C532&amp;ssl=1&amp;wsr\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-313.png?resize=840%2C532&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-313.png?resize=1024%2C649&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-313.png?resize=300%2C190&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-313.png?resize=768%2C487&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-313.png?w=1180&amp;ssl=1 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wind turbine fires are ten times more common than the wind industry and its parasites claim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121246920,"featured_media":238464,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-238453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paxLW1-1021","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":336233,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=336233","url_meta":{"origin":238453,"position":0},"title":"Wind Turbine Fires: Clear &amp;
