Massive Fire at World's Largest Battery Plant Forces Evacuations in California

A massive fire erupted at one of the world's largest battery storage plants in Moss Landing, California, forcing hundreds to evacuate and prompting the closure of a section of Highway 1. The blaze, which started Thursday afternoon, sent plumes of black smoke into the air. While firefighters worked to contain the flames, the fire was still burning Friday morning. This is the third fire at the Vistra Energy plant in three years, raising concerns about the safety of large-scale battery storage.
