"The Vistra fire in Moss Landing caught everyone by surprise. What we can learn from it?” —David Schmalz, #MontereyCountyWeekly cover story

"On Feb. 13, 2022, a similar incident occurred at Vistra’s Moss 100 facility, and this time, both #Vistra facilities were taken offline.

"Meanwhile, PG&E’s 182.5-megawatt Elkhorn facility came online in April 2022. Unlike both Vistra facilities, the Elkhorn’s batteries were not in buildings – they were in an array of 256 Tesla Megapacks on 33 concrete slabs.

In the early morning of Sept. 20 of that year, just over five months later, a fire broke out in one of #Tesla Megapacks at the facility, prompting the closure of Highway 1 and a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents. Though the fire only burned for six hours, the orders remained in effect until just before 7pm due to the risk of toxic smoke inhalation.”

There used to be a joke about how #SolarFarms were immune to fires and explosions (as opposed to #NuclearPowerPlants). But a quick search revealed that those do happen -- but the cause is usually the #LithiumIon batteries, not the solar panels!

"⚠️Safety Tips:
- Remember to prepare for travel, especially during the current elevated temperatures.
- Provide plenty of water and supplies in your vehicle.
- Plan your route accordingly and ensure you have enough supplies, fuel, and charge in your vehicle.
- Use caution with any electronic routing systems that may suggest alternate routes, especially those that include dirt roads. Often, these areas are unimproved trails and roads, which can lead to vehicles getting stuck, a significant problem experienced throughout the day yesterday."

▶️Next Steps: County Fire is working with partner agencies and resources to call for additional heavy equipment for the removal of the container, an effort that will continue throughout the day. The container's weight requires specialized equipment for successful removal. Constant reevaluation will occur throughout the day. This is a fluid and dynamic situation, and we will continually assess public safety needs. Further updates will be provided through the responsible agencies. ⚠️Safety Tips: - Remember to prepare for travel, especially during the current elevated temperatures. - Provide plenty of water and supplies in your vehicle. - Plan your route accordingly and ensure you have enough supplies, fuel, and charge in your vehicle. - Use caution with any electronic routing systems that may suggest alternate routes, especially those that include dirt roads.
