Egin, Salisbury & Riverview Fire responded to a windmill on fire at TransAlta's Kent Hills wind facility in Parkingdale/ Caledonia Mountain at 8:48am.
There was nothing the Fire departments could do but watch the turbine burn. Firefighters followed standard protocol recommended by wind turbine manufactuers which requires personnel to allow the turbine to burn out and arrest any fires that might start on the ground due to falling debris.
The TransAlta wind facility is located about 30 kms outside of Riverview New Brunswick. This video aired on CTV , CBC & Global NEWS.

Nome's new 18-turbine wind farm was shut down in May after a manufacturing defect was discovered in a batch of turbines shipped from Entegrity Wind Systems in Canada's Prince Edward Island province. Officials say the problem has nothing to do with Nome's cold and windy climate. Financially troubled Entegrity has so far been unable to ship the needed parts. Nome is hoping to have the wind farm back online before winter; it can provide up to 10 percent of the city's electricity.
