Monterey County residents near Moss Landing were told late Tuesday to close their windows and doors overnight after a fire broke out at the Vistra Energy lithium-ion battery storage facility near the Moss Landing Harbor.

The fire was emitting "light smoke" according to a press release from county spokesperson Maia Carroll that said first responders and the North County Fire Protection District were in a unified command at the facility in a message sent at 10:03 p.m.

The same facility, off state Highway 1 and Dolan Road, was the site of a massive fire in January, prompting evacuations because of unknown hazards posed by the smoke.
