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

Over a thousand people have been told to evacuate after a fire broke out at one of the world's largest battery plants in California.

A fire at a one of the world’s largest battery plants in California contained tens of thousands of lithium batteries that store power from renewable energy sources.

The Moss Landing fire can’t be put out because it involves batteries, authorities said. Residents must wait for it to burn itself out.

Five days after a huge fire at one of the world’s largest battery storage plants in Moss Landing, California, Gov. Gavin Newsom has called for an investigation into the blaze, which has jolted California’s renewable energy industry.
