Fire crews called to Burrillville power plant

The Harrisville Fire Department was called to the Ocean State Power Plant on Sherman Farm Road, Burrillville, this morning for a small fire.

Asst. Fire Chief Mike Gingell said no one was injured and that the power plant’s internal fire protection system put the fire out.

There was a similar situation one week ago, when, according to a power plant spokeswoman, smoke from an oil leak in one of the plant’s turbines set off the fire alarm

The 560-megawatt power plant, operated by TransCanada Power Operations, was built in 1990.
