Tesla factory fire: Smoke seen rising from Elon Musk's Fremont plant

Firefighters responded Monday evening to an apparent blaze at the Tesla Fremont factory.

Local outlets reported that a Fremont Fire department spokesperson said a call about the fire came in at just after 5pm.

Officials noted that it was a two alarm fire being battled by a local crew, and was quickly put under control by about 6.15pm.

The Fremont Fire Department also confirmed that no one was injured in the fire that 'started inside an oven.'

'All employees have been accounted for per Tesla representatives at the scene,' posted the fire department on X. 

Visuals taken from above the scene in California showed the fire department working on the fire.

One locally shot picture showed smoke rising from the factory.

Some reports online initially indicated that the fire took place outside and was mainly fueled by packing materials, in this case cardboard pallets.
