One of the biggest clean-up challenges from the Southern California fires is lithium-ion batteries, which can explode after damage or exposure to heat.

California wildfire cleanup is complicated by highly combustible lithium-ion batteries found in electric and hybrid vehicles popular in Los Angeles County.

In the wake of the recent fire at Vistra Corporation's Moss Landing Power Plant and Energy Storage Facility, the California Public Utilities Commission has proposed new standards for battery energy storage facilities.

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.

What authorities described as one of the largest lithium-ion battery cleanups ever is underway in Los Angeles County neighborhoods destroyed by the Eaton and Palisades fires.

The CPUC will vote on a proposal adopting new safety standards for the maintenance and operation of battery energy storage systems.

The fire confirmed the worst fears of a Central Coast community where a new battery farm is planned, writes SLO.

The massive fire at one of the world's largest lithium battery storage plants in Northern California has shaken a local community worried about possible long-term impacts and brought scrutiny to the emerging industry's safety practices.

Nearly two weeks after the Eaton fire forced Claire Robinson to flee her Altadena home, she returned, donning a white hazmat suit, a respirator and goggles.

At Wednesday afternoon’s County of Monterey briefing, Ricardo Encarnacion, bureau chief and County of Monterey director of environmental health, said that the county and its partners, the

The lithium-ion batteries in a 2025 Tesla Model Y complicated first responders’ efforts to save a person involved in a fiery electrical vehicle crash, officials in Torrance announced Wednesday. The single-vehicle collision,
