A fire occurred at Tesla’s vehicle assembly plant in Fremont, California on Monday afternoon, as stated by the Fremont Fire Department in a post on the social network X.
The fire department stated that no injuries were reported among employees or firefighters present at the scene. The fire, which occurred at the Tesla facility on Fremont Boulevard before 5:00 p.m., was described as a two-alarm commercial structure fire in a two-story building.
Reportedly, the fire originated in an oven used for vehicle manufacturing operations. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control within a few hours, and they were released from the scene by around 8 p.m.
Tesla’s Fremont factory, the company’s first mass EV manufacturing facility, has a history of fires. Despite this, the factory recently celebrated a production milestone of 3 million vehicles in conjunction with their battery factory outside of Reno, Nevada.
Following the recent layoffs at Tesla, including 601 jobs in California and 164 at the Fremont factory, concerns have been raised regarding environmental and safety measures. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAMQD) has accused Tesla of allowing unabated emissions at the Fremont plant and is seeking changes to prevent further pollution. They are currently assessing the situation in Alameda County following the fire on Monday night.
