A fire started at Tesla Fremont Factory earlier this evening, according to the local fire department.
The cause and extent of the damages are unknown at this point and the efforts to control the fire are still ongoing at the time of writing.
Update: The fire has now been extinguished, said the Fremont Fire Department
According to reports from the local fire department scanner conversations (@CAFireScanner), the fire started on “a large pile of cardboard” and it started threatening nearby structures.
They called it a “tent-type structure”, but it doesn’t appear to be near the infamous general assembly 4 line, which is under a “tent-type structure.”
Some power lines also reportedly caught on fire.
The Fremont Fire Department has commented on the fire:
“Initial reports are fire started in a cardboard pile, threatening an outside structure and now started a small grass fire. We have resources on scene and are taking action.”
NBC got some footage of the fire (picture above and video below):
