Good questions. I think that there are a variety of things that possibly went wrong here. One is that they did not have an exitinguisher with them. Two the fire was most likely started by a spark (grinding) that was not seen or an arc flash. Also work in the hub could have been happening which would delay those two workers from getting to the exit.
Fiberglass burns quickly but the nacelles aren't that big. Although there is only one out to the tower and the other out is rappelling outside. Tough to say.
I would say the exit got blocked and that is where all their emergency decent gear was.

Well there are different reasons for that. This is most likely due to grid limitations. There always a demand and a supply on the grid. If someone is making too much power. They will be shut off because a wind turbine is easier to be shutoff than a coal gen.
Also the turbine could be faulted or there could be too much wind (25 m/s usually)
