    'Extreme caution' as Hull's first large wind turbine to be taken down
    following major blaze

    The turbine blades were removed just last month

    Extreme caution is needed as the operation to take down Hull's first large
    wind turbine continues following a major fire.

    The wind turbine, located at Cargill's Hull factory, set on fire back in
    August 2022, prompting a huge emergency response. It is thought the fire is likely to have been triggered by either an electrical or mechanical fault.

    In June, the dismantling progress was underway as the turbine blades were
    taken down by a huge mechanical arm. An update from the company behind the turbine, Cargill, says that a specialist has been hired to take down the
    rest of the turbine, with work being aimed to be completed before the end
    of July.

    Couldn't they have used to Fred Dibnah / Blaster Bates method?
