CA County Tells People to Shelter In Place Because of Tesla Battery Fire

A Tesla Megapack caught on fire this morning at a PG&E facility in Monterey County, California, emitting enough toxic smoke that the county issued a shelter-in-place advisory for the surrounding area. A number of road closures were also ordered including Highway 1.
Residents are being told by local authorities to shut their windows and turn off their ventilation systems to prevent the toxic smoke from getting inside their homes.
Smoke from lithium ion battery fires is toxic.
I think most of us know most electric cars use lithium batteries, so just sharing it as well.
