Shelter in place ordered as energy tank fire spreads in Northern California
NBC News appThe California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CalFire, said the fire spread to about 15 acres of vegetation around the site before it was contained Tuesday night.
"This is a very dynamic, rapidly evolving situation. We've got two tanks that are releasing chemicals that are still burning," Contra Costa County fire Capt. George Laing said. Contra Costa County health officials issued shelter-in-place orders for about 12,000 people in neighborhoods near the facility where higher-than-normal levels of particulate matter were detected in the air. The order wasn't lifted until eight hours later.
