News says the fire is contained to 1 of the 40 batteries on site. The battery system has been disconnected from the grid.

Will be interesting in the future when rioters light EV police cars on fire and protocol is to let it burn out.

... this makes me less enthusiastic about Powerwall type batteries strapped to garage walls. Would rather have my battery backup contained within my vehicle, which can be wheeled out of the garage as necessary.
