Watch as numerous fire departments rush to the scene of a major fire at a lithium battery recycling plant

in Fredericktown, Missouri, earlier this evening. The blaze, which broke out at the 225,000-square-foot facility owned by

Critical Mineral Recovery, led to shelter-in-place advisories and mandatory evacuation orders in the surrounding area.

According to its website, the company uses this facility to “recycle lithium-ion battery materials from battery manufacturers, automotive OEMs,

battery dealers, recyclers, and processors worldwide,” describing it as “one of the largest lithium-ion battery processing facilities in the world.”

All plant workers have been safely accounted for, with only minor injuries reported
