A major fire at one of the world's largest battery storage plants in Northern California sent up flames of toxic smoke. The fire that started Thursday and was largely put out by Friday led to the evacuation of 1,700 people. A major fire erupted Thursday in Northern California at one of the world's largest battery storage plants.
The fire is especially difficult to control due to the presence of lithium batteries. These batteries are known for being challenging to extinguish once ignited. “Lithium battery fires burn at high temperatures and emit toxic gases,” said Jenny Lyon, a spokesperson for Vistra Energy, the Texas-based company that owns the plant.
(KSBW via AP) SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A fire at the world's largest battery storage plant in Northern California smoldered Friday after sending plumes of toxic smoke into the atmosphere, leading to the evacuation of up to 1,500 people. The blaze also shook up the young battery storage industry.
Lithium battery fires, like the one at the Vistra plant, are notoriously difficult to extinguish and can emit toxic gases harmful to health. The blaze erupted at the Moss Landing Power Plant.
The batteries, crucial for California's renewable energy efforts, store electricity generated by solar power for use at night. But when these batteries catch fire, they can be dangerous and difficult to extinguish. Although the fire was contained within a concrete building at the facility, its intense nature raised concerns.
Batteries that power electric vehicles such as e-bikes, e-scooters and electric cars were responsible for almost three fires a day across the UK last year, according to data collected by QBE from freedom of information requests sent to UK fire services.
