At 3:15 p.m. the two ambulances that responded, along with a State Trooper and E.J. Thompson of the Groton Police, had not left the property.
Groton Wind Farm was given a license for site and facility work by the state Site Evaluation Committee earlier this year and is presently blasting and laying footings for the towers, each which, with blades attached, will be 410 feet high.
The plan is to have much of the work done by the fall and be operational in 2013 with the electricity being purchased by NStar in Boston.
