"Thousands" of fish carcasses have washed up in Fredericktown, Missouri, downstream of a large lithium battery plant that caught fire, multiple residents told 5 On Your Side Friday.

The fire happened Wednesday at Critical Mineral Recovery, a battery recycling facility near the community. Multiple homes within a mile of the facility were evacuated due to pollution and health concerns. Residents were allowed back in their homes on Thursday.

5 On Your Side crews visited Village Creek on Friday after the fish kill reports. A white substance that resembled foam was floating on the water's surface in numerous areas.
