"We cannot see another battery energy storage fire," Addis said in a press conference Friday afternoon. "This can't happen again."
"There needs to be some accountability," Church said in the Friday morning press conference, noting this was the fourth fire in five years at Moss Landing battery facilities.
North County Fire Protection District Chief Joel Mendoza said a fire-suppression system in a battery rack failed to contain the fire. The fire was most intense Thursday night, he said, and by Friday morning it had mostly gone out.
A Vistra representative responded later Friday afternoon saying that determining when the plant goes back online will be a "collaboration" and the company would be following regulations and informing the public.
