An hour after it was first discovered, smoke continues to billow from one of the turbines at Scroby Sands .

In the area at The Time were two wind farm crew transfer vessels and a tugboat towing a jack-up maintenance barge.

I've spoken to one person who worked on the construction of The Wind farm who told me that the policy would be likely to allow The Fire to burn itself out.
