Original Note:
A wind turbine fire is fortunately a very rare event. https://www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-how-often-do-wind-turbines-catch-fire-and-does-it-matter/ One fire a year for every 19,230 turbines operating worldwide, on average. Fossil fuel burning is an everyday event. The carbon released by the fire is a tiny fraction of the amount reduced by the wind turbine over its life
