1. The most important rule: Trained security guards must manage and coordinate everything that happens in the cabin.
2. Smoke must not spread: close the door where the fire occurred.
When leaving the turbine, close all access points, including access to the tower.
Warn your colleagues to wear respirators. If possible, use a portable fire extinguisher and use two or three extinguishers at the same time to extinguish the flames as quickly and completely as possible (you only have 3 minutes for this). After 3 minutes, smoke can be life threatening. If the flame goes out, be sure to ventilate the area as quickly as possible to remove smoke from the extinguishing agent and floating soot.
3. When the crew must leave the turbine: they must generally escape downwards. Always hold on tight because people don't pay attention to others when they're panicked! If you idiotsIf you notice smoke forming behind a door, do not rush and close the door too quickly, instead open it carefully and close it immediately. Only if possible, call the wind turbine coordination center immediately and without delay.
4. Follow the security guard's instructions and leave the turbine: quickly but do not panic, and stay with the other people present on site. If you can exit the turbine via the tower, use a ladder and take the time to secure the fall arrest device. Do not use the elevator.
In the event of a power outage, the elevator motor (if there is an elevator) will stop, the lights can turn off and the ladder can be used in the darkness.
If you leave the wind turbine via the emergency exit, the safety officer must help other people present on site and those accompanying them to slide down and then back down. The toxic heat of an iThe fire would first accumulate under the cabin ceiling and then spread to the floor. So stay close to the ground and, if necessary, crawl out of the cabin.

Characteristics of wind turbine fires
1. Fighting fires is difficult
Once they occur, they will cause huge direct losses (the current price of a single wind turbine equipment is about 6 to 8 million yuan) and indirect (reduced electricity production), and external rescue is possible. Sex is close to zero.
2. There are many fire hazards
Wind turbines can catch fire from top to bottom, and the fire environment is harsh (air flow outside the cabin is large and air convection easily forms inside the tower) wait).
3. Types of complex fires
Electrical fires, firesSolids and liquid fires are all possible (many types of fuels are involved including: lubricating greases of different types and uses, hydraulic fires). oil, electrical equipment, wires and cables, blades, cabin cover and its insulating layer, etc.).
