How do you Extinguish a Lithium Battery Fire?
4th March 2021
A few weeks ago I asked a fire fighter friend how they extinguish electric vehicle battery fires.
He said “Oh you mean like a Tesla or something? The answer is you can’t. You cordon off the area, and spray a fine mist of water on the fire to try to keep the temperature down until it finishes burning. Takes a few days until it is safe”.
Just in case you needed a reason not to buy an electric car. And don’t get me started about Tesla….
