Wind Turbine starts fire
There's a small (relatively) blackened patch on the south side of I-580 near the top of the Altamont. A regular kind of grass fire, nothing special. The only odd thing is, it does not come close to the freeway, so it wasn't started with a cig stub thrown out of a car.
If you look at the top, you can see the remains of a wind turbine laying on the ground. The supporting latticework is still standing.
It looks like the turbine jumped its pivot and fell on the ground, starting the fire.
The today's lesson: always navigate wind turbine formations from the upwind, or else you may get your head chopped off by falling parts of rusty turbines.
