A tragic fire set a windmill ablaze in southern India’s Andhra Pradesh.

The incident took place near Yatakallu village of Shetturu Mandal in Anantapur and the video went viral on June 27.

Visuals showed thick black smoke which fumed from the windmill, twisting into the clear blue sky. The scene was silent, with no crowd in sight. A lone car sped past on the empty road, adding a fleeting sense of urgency to desolate itself from the landscape.

Reportedly, the situation required immediate action from the officials in the region in order to prevent any accidents or casualties.
