An investigation is taking place into a fire on a wind turbine which forced emergency services to cordon off a busy Sunderland road last month.
Eight fire brigade crews attended the Nissan car plant after fire broke out on the 51m-high turbine on 23 December.
Crews feared it would fall on to the nearby A19 but it eventually fell into a nearby field and burned itself out.
A crane will arrive on site this week to lift down the remains of the turbine for engineers to inspect.
Building work started on the £2m wind farm at the 750-acre site in September.
The six second-hand turbines, which are three years old and came from a wind farm on the continent, generate 7.5% of the factory's electricity.
