Reports of a fire at a wind turbine near the Golden Acorn Casino in East County have drawn extra units of firefighters.
California Highway Patrol got a flood of calls from passersby saying the turbine had exploded and was on fire. According to police, large plumes of black smoke are coming from one of the turbines, which generate power.
