It is a stretch to call it a bad fire. One of the battery containers caught fire, and caused a second to be lost for reasons I don't know. The fire didn't spread, did not destroy the facility and did not require extensive downtime for repairs. Which is pretty nice to know as the fear was that one spark would send the whole facility up in a fireball.

I suppose it's relative, but it seems it's a very good thing that only one caught because

150 firefighters taking 4 days to put it out. It certainly could have been worse, but I don't think it's a stretch to say it was pretty bad.
