Scroby Sands wind turbine catches fire off Norfolk coast

A fire has broken out on an offshore wind turbine.

A plume of black smoke has been seen billowing from the Scroby Sands wind farm, 1.5 miles (2.5km) off the coast of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

RWE, the German company that owns the wind farm, said no-one was working in the area and authorities were aware of the incident.

BBC Radio Norfolk reporter Andrew Turner said only one turbine seemed to be affected.
