What do emergency responders do when an electric truck catches fire?

It's not just cars that are electrifying!
We were invited to speak at the Heavy Vehicle Industry Association's conference this week, and of course went to have a look at all the electric and hydrogen trucks on display.
Check out what's coming to market and how to manage an incident involving one of these HVEVs.

About the EV FireSafe research project:
EV FireSafe is a research project aiming to identify the risks to emergency responders when attending an electric vehicle (EV) lithium traction battery fire, particularly where that vehicle is connected to energised charging. We are proudly funded by the Australian Department of Defence, with assistance from Deakin University. See more or get in touch at evfiresafe.com

Answer; step1 -Stand back and watch the truck burn everything around it. Get you a lung full of THAT! step2 -Wash away all the heavy metals and toxic debris left behind into the storm drains quickly, before the enviros show up. Step3 -Blame the fire on a petrol car.

In the UK they always blame diesels
