TEMPE, AZ — Multiple fire department agencies including Tempe, Phoenix, and Chandler worked to combat a hazardous situation involving an electric truck battery on Monday.
Tempe fire officials say a fire began at Arizona Lithium near Kyrene and Elliot roads around 5 p.m.
Officials say a semi-truck inside the facility had a lithium-ion cell battery that was on fire.
Crews were able to contain the fire and removed the semi-truck from the building as a precaution.
No injuries have been reported.
This is one of several electric vehicle battery-involved fires in the Valley over the last several months.
In June, a row of Nikola trucks caught fire in Phoenix with one reigniting a month later. That led to a recall of Nikola's trucks, which was announced in August.
