Tesla battery on fire at Bouldercombe energy storage site, Genex confirms
Witnesses have reported loud bangs, "multicoloured" flames and a smell of burning plastic as a Tesla battery burns at one of Queensland’s first large-scale battery storage sites after catching fire last night.
Police were called to the incident in Child’s Avenue in Bouldercombe, about 23 kilometres from Rockhampton, at 7:45pm.
Officers said the fire caused hazardous smoke to spread across the immediate area and nearby residents were urged to stay indoors and keep respiratory medication close by.
Several firefighting crews responded and the fire was contained to a single battery this morning.
Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Fitzroy Zone Commander John Platt said the battery pack was still alight and he was unsure how long it would continue to burn.
"They are monitoring temperatures — a lot of that combustion can be internal to the unit so it's just about monitoring and making sure the visible fire doesn't spread," Mr Platt said.
He said officers were monitoring gas levels and air sampling in the Bouldercombe region and confirmed residents had nothing to be concerned about.
"There is no worry for members of the public in terms of that toxic gas issue."
Mr Platt said the timing of the fire was fortunate, as the region's bushfire conditions were relatively mild compared to last week, when parts of central Queensland had a high fire danger rating.
