Searching for current news stories, but not finding anything. Hopefully this is something from the fire in April ?

Seems true, seeing others commenting on X/Twitter

Reddit comments seem to suggest vehicle(s) on fire in parking lot… perhaps in an area where vehicles awaiting repair/correction were stored.

Super curious what happened. Hopefully it’s put out fast and hopefully it doesn’t delay anything!

The plant is not on fire. It’s a train that carries Rivian cars that has. None of the news has been verified. Just the same video posted by a “Sergei”
