One of 24 containers caught fire. Businesses adjacent to the substation or within approximately 0.25 mi were evacuated. A shelter-in-place order was issued for locations farther east. Classes were cancelled at some nearby schools. The fire started at noon on September 5, and was extinguished by 1 AM on September 6. Air quality and water runoff reports were made publicly available after the incident, and found that all readings taken were well below acceptable exposure limits and considered expected readings during a routine structure fire.[1][2]
