Job of the Week: Emergency Wind Farm Call-Out in the Scottish Borders
By Hirst Locksmiths – Earlston, Scottish Borders (TD4 6ET)
Hirst Locksmiths has experienced an exceptionally busy period over the last few days, with demand so high that appointments were even completed on a Sunday. This highlights the growing need for reliable, local locksmith services across the Scottish Borders.
Emergency Call-Out to a Wind Farm
This week’s Job of the Week goes to an emergency locksmith call-out at a wind farm in the Scottish Borders. Danny Hirst arrived on site just before nightfall. Due to the nature of the turbine lock-out, the work continued well into darkness.
Apart from the on-site, medic-trained staff, Danny was working alone on top of a hill, surrounded by thick fog and complete darkness. Despite the challenging conditions, the job was carried out safely and professionally. The experience was described as both unique and unexpectedly calming — a testament to the dedication and adaptability required in emergency locksmith work.
