High winds can add extra oxygen, making it even easier to catch fire if they are faulty or overheat.

No points for this one - Wind won't "make it easier" to catch fire, although wind might make it easier to burn once it does...

Exactly!

The stresses, friction, and power surges created by the high winds could cause the turbine to catch fire — but, that has nothing to do with “extra oxygen” as the article states. Once there’s a fire, then, as you say, the wind might make burning easier.
