In the wake of the Moss Landing lithium battery plant fire, another coastal Calif. town tells Texas company to go away for good.

Ryan Yamamoto reports on lingering concerns about the environmental impact of the fire at the Moss Landing Vistra Power Plant.

A county hotline has also been established for residents to call officials with any questions about the air quality and best practices for keeping safe.

Residents living near a power plant in Central California were ordered to evacuate Thursday night after a fire broke out at the facility.

While monitoring a stolen car parked outside of a Mt. Juliet store Sunday, authorities ended up arresting a man with multiple warrants after he reportedly ran out of the store with stolen merchandise worth hundreds of dollars.

Then in September 2022, a fire broke out at the PG&E Elkhorn Battery plant. Police closed Highway 1 for 12 hours. An investigation found it was caused by an improperly installed vent shield on one of the 256 units, which allowed rainwater to get in and short out the batteries. There were no injuries to firefighters, PG&E employees or the public.

As the fire lithium battery storage facility that led to evacuations in Moss Landing last week continues to smolder days later, concerns are being raised about the impacts to the surrounding environment.
