California Battery Plant Fire Lifts Evacuation, Raises Health Concerns

A large fire at a California battery storage plant prompted evacuations for approximately 1,500 residents near Moss Landing. Though the fire, at a facility owned by Vistra Corp, was largely extinguished, residents were initially advised to remain indoors due to potential air pollution from toxic gases. Air quality testing later determined the air to be safe, and evacuations were lifted. While the cause remains under investigation, officials emphasized the need for safer battery storage systems in the renewable energy sector.
