It looks like fireworks, but it’s a fire that damaged a windmill at the Locust Ridge Wind Farm in Schuylkill County.

It broke out Monday night in the center of the windmill’s three 133-foot blades at the farm near Mahanoy City.

Firefighters could only soak down the surrounding area with water to prevent it from spreading to the ground in the event of a collapse.
