A significant fire at the SDG&E battery storage facility in Escondido, California, prompted mandatory evacuation orders for nearby residents and businesses. The incident began Thursday afternoon at 571 Enterprise Street and was classified as a first-alarm fire, with firefighters working alongside San Diego County Hazmat crews to contain the blaze. Nearby areas were evacuated due to concerns about potential toxic fumes, with road closures implemented along Enterprise Street. Fortunately, firefighters managed to limit the fire to a single trailer, with no reported injuries as of Thursday night. SDG&E confirmed that their fire suppression systems activated promptly and is currently investigating the cause of the fire. This incident raises alarm among residents about planned battery facilities in the area, following a similar fire incident in Otay Mesa earlier this year.
