Lubbock County volunteer fire crews responded to a call of a burning wind turbine Monday afternoon.
Firefighters on scene said there wasn’t much they could do except let it burn out.
The fire was reported at 3:45 p.m., said Tim Smith, fire chief for West Carlisle Fire Department.
Three departments responded to the blaze north of Reese Center and County Road 6400 including West Carlisle, Shallowater and Wolfforth.
The turbine is part of the growing Prairie Dog WTG Project, Smith said.
