Moss Landing Fire Update: Key Developments and Resources
County of Monterey Emergency Operations Center January 20, 2025
County of Monterey officials in partnership with State and Federal partners continue to address the impacts of the Vistra Energy fire in Moss Landing, providing the latest updates on safety, air quality, and community resources as containment efforts progress.
Special Meeting Set for January 21
The County of Monterey Board of Supervisors will hold a special meeting on Tuesday, January 21, at 10:00 am in the Board Chambers to discuss the ongoing response to the fire at the Vistra Energy facility. The agenda includes incident updates and public participation details. The meeting agenda can be accessed online.
Fire Containment and Monitoring
Incident Command reports that there have been no visible flames for over 48 hours and no smoke for over 24 hours. Fire crews remain on-site to ensure there is no risk of a flare- up. Drone surveillance of the impacted area continues, while Vistra enginers conduct inspections of the incident site and structure. The facility remains offline.
Air Quality Remains Safe
Air quality monitoring from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and independent monitoring consultants has not detected any health threats from gases or particulates.
Olivia Trombadore, Environmental Protection Agency On Site Coordinator shard this information at a press conference Saturday, January 18th:
“We are monitoring for hydrogen fluoride and particulates at this time. The reason we are monitoring for those two constituents is because based on our experience, we know that battery fires of this type produce two different hazards one is hydrogen fluoride. The other is particulates.
In addition to our efforts, Vistra has brought a contractor to the scene and they are also doing fixed and roaming air monitoring. They are monitoring for the same things that we are, and their air monitoring efforts are complimentary to ours at this time so there's quite a lot of resources is on the ground.
Based on the monitoring that we have been doing since late the first night we have not seen any levels of these two contaminants that would pose a risk to the public so we're very happy to report that.”
Monitoring by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is transitioning to Vistra Energy and its contractor, CTEH.
