Moss Landing is along Highway 1, near the ocean, between Monterey and Santa Cruz, California.
The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office has issued Evacuation Orders for areas of Moss Landing South of the Elkhorn Slough, North of Molera Rd and Monterey Dunes Way, and West of Castroville Blvd and ElkHorn Rd. to the ocean for the following zones: MRY-B037, MRY-B047, MRY-B050,… pic.twitter.com/rJlivDENYC

Authorities also advised nearby residents to close windows and doors, shut off air systems, and stay indoors to minimize exposure to potential hazardous materials. The California Highway Patrol closed State Route 1 at Salinas Road, with no estimated time for reopening.
Fire crews, EMS, and HAZMAT responded, seemingly letting the fire burn itself out due to its contained nature and the lack of nearby flammable structures. The primary concern is now air quality due to the chemical composition of the smoke.
