Europe's got the right idea.
Yeah, its still a ton of water to fill up, but this is far less than the 36,000 gallons used for this Tesla here. We need to start building these containers for the EVs and giving fire departments the right tools for "full submerge" strategies as EVs become more popular.
If the car is on fire already how does this work?
It looks like you would need to drag the burning vehicle into the dumpster and than fill it with water? That doesn’t seem to be a very viable option safety wise.
My guess is an electromagnetic crane. This isn't a good option either. Just use halon fire extinguishers.
Halon extinguishers won't work. Lithium battery fires are self oxidizing.
Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information.
