Smoke closes Ocean State Power briefly

Firefighters responded to the Ocean State Power plant in Burrillville this morning, after an oil leak led to smoke in one of the gas turbines.

The situation was handled by plant personnel, according to Shela Shapiro, spokeswoman for TransCanada, which operates the station. She said employees were not in danger, and there was no equipment damage.

The cause is under investigation.
