Today due to the SoCal fires the plant closed down with 10 hours of my shift remaining. Will I be paid for this time as it was not my decision to leave. Also if they cannot open for my schedualed shift tomorrow will I be embursed for that lost time?

No, the company does not have to pay you for tomorrow if they can not open due to the fires. For today, they must pay you for the hours worked, (I think a minimum of 4 hours for showing up). If you are a member of a union then you need to review your contract and see if there is mention of early release and minimum show pay. (Is there a minimum number of hours they must pay you for if you show up for work and are sent home)

Whether or not you are paid is at the discretion of the employer. There is no law stating that you must be paid for such situations, unless you are covered by a labor contract stating otherwise.

California law requires them to pay you for 2 hours if you show up for a scheduled shift and were sent home early. They do not have to pay you for tomorrow unless you were told to come to work and you do.

No they do not have to pay you. They only have to pay you for your time there today. If there is a union involved there may be some issues. It would be nice of them to pay you, but that would be their decision.

A company only has to pay you for your time put in unless otherwise stated in a contract...
Goodluck!

That will depend on company policy or any union contract you are covered by. So maybe.
