The Carson City Sheriff's Office was called in to assist the Carson City Fire Department for a report of a fire at a business at Metric Way Nov. 19.
The Carson City Fire Department responded to a battery fire in a manufacturing outfit off Metric Way in north Carson City at 2:41 p.m Tuesday.
CCFD Chief Sean Slamon said on scene the fire was extinguished, and there was no threat to surrounding structures or neighbors.
Slamon believed the affected battery was a lithium ion battery of a battery pack, and he was concerned about thermal reigniting. Crews remained on scene as of 3:30 p.m. with assistance from the Carson City Sheriff’s Office and Truckee Meadows, Central Lyon and East Fork firefighters.
The incident is being treated as a hazardous materials incident, “trying to make sure any runoff is contained,” according to Slamon.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, as is any damage to the building.
