Authorities in Monterey County, California lifted all evacuations Friday night, one day after a fire broke out at one of the world's largest lithium battery storage facilities.
The Monterey County Sheriff's Office made the announcement shortly after 6 p.m. local time. Health officials still advised residents near the Moss Landing Vistra Power Plant, located about 90 miles south of San Francisco, to limit outdoor exposure and to keep doors and windows closed until further notice.
Friday evening's announcement comes hours after the fire, which began early Thursday evening, flared up again. The fire closed a portion of coastal Highway 1 that remains shut down to traffic as the fire continues to burn.
