Monterey County firefighters on Friday said they were monitoring Vistra Energy's fire-damaged lithium-ion battery facility for flare-ups as an atmospheric river moved through the region.

A fire at the world’s largest battery storage plant in Northern California is smoldering after sending plumes of toxic smoke into the atmosphere.

When a massive fire erupted at one of the world's largest lithium-ion battery storage facilities in Monterey County, it didn't just send a toxic plume of smoke over nearby communities — it cast a shadow of doubt over the future of California's clean energy industry.

Elevated concentrations of heavy metals have been detected at the Elkhorn Slough Reserve by scientists following a recent fire at Vistra Moss Landing Power Plant and Energy Storage Facility.

A fire at one of the world’s largest battery storage plants forced more than 1,000 locals out of their homes, away from potentially toxic smoke. NBC News' Maya Eaglin reports on the conditions at Moss Landing Power Plant,

Scientists have linked a lithium battery plant fire in California earlier this month to a surge in heavy metals found in nearby soil.

A group of researchers says they have found high concentrations of heavy metals in a California estuary near the site of a major fire that destroyed a battery storage facility south of San Francisco earlier in January.
