In the Australian context with our very inflammable environment right across SE australia where by far the bulk of the turbine farms are located, the almost guaranteed likelihood of turbine nacelle fires might well be a very major and an ultimately disastrous life destroying fault of wind turbines as they begin to age and become more prone to mechanical failure and electrical failures in the nacelles.

Nacelle fires which are inaccessible to fire fighters due to the height of the nacelle plus the burning debris drifting for kilometres down wind are the second major fault of wind turbines next to blade failures.
