Fire Fighting Methods

Water is an excellent coolant and fire-extinguishing agent; it also applies to fires in electric cars. The fixed drencher system is an excellent tool, it is highly efficient at containing and reducing fire spread in the cargo space and exposes the crew to little or no risk. In most cases, the drencher suppresses a lithium-ion battery fire and prevents it from spreading to adjacent vehicles.

Let's learn more about this in the video below.

When firefighting, remember:

Approach with a wide cone of water, alternate with the click setting as felt necessary and if possible at an angle of approximately 45 degrees measured from the centre line of the vehicle.
Keep a safe distance because of the risk of jet flames.
Water should arrive at the vehicle on fire for cooling or suppression, try to avoid straight jets. Water droplets have a better cooling capacity.
If a lithium-ion battery is violently active, protect adjacent cars.
Extinguish fires in adjacent cars to prevent further spread and after that, suppressed the primary car fire.
Lastly, make attempt to cool or suppress the battery itself, if needed. Repeat as required.
Continue cooling or change to a wider angle for protection during backward movement.
