OP. What caused this wind turbine fire? I'd love to know what the problem was. (From the still, it appears to be a collision of some sort, but that could easily be incorrect.)

Say OP - Isn't that a coal fire in the generator housing?

From what I understand, wind turbines require a constant coal supply. How else would they be spinning all the time.
