Fire crews in Fremont, California, responded to a fire that erupted near the Tesla factory on Thursday afternoon.
The Fremont Fire Department said the flames started in a cardboard pile around 8:20 p.m. ET, on the southern end of Tesla's property, igniting some grass and an unidentified building. It has since been contained.
Aerial video from local news outlets showed firefighters dousing the flames with water. Another video showed a building engulfed in flames. A Tesla spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.
