This is handy. Moss Landing has had 3 fires to date

The Moss Landing facility is a very bad design. It is a large warehouse full of batteries with no firewall in-between those batteries or even sectioned off. So once you start having thermal runaway on a battery it will start propagating and the entire facility will go up. You need to plan on in the design that not if but when you will have thermal runaway and a fire and design for a fire.

I can't figure out why they built that way. Fireworks, explosives, and ammo plants build building a safe distance apart and I think they're designed to vent the blast straight up.
