A small fire that kicked up considerable black smoke at the Port of Oakland on Sunday has already been contained, according to a spokesperson for the Oakland Fire Department.
The fire started inside a lithium battery plant when a pile of batteries caught fire Sunday mid-afternoon. The small blaze does not pose a risk to nearby structures, authorities said.
A single fire engine is still on scene dousing lingering flames with water. No broader health threats are reported from the lithium plant at this time.
