HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — Holland and Holland Township firefighters were called to the Holland Energy Park just before 11 a.m. Monday, April 13, 2020, on the report of a fire in a turbine, according to Holland Fire Capt. Chris Tinney.

The energy plan continues running with a slightly reduced output, she said, adding that and Holland BPW officials are investigating while taking what DeCook called “necessary precautions.”
Holland BPW customers shouldn’t be affected by the incident, DeCook said.
