6. In Case of Fire

6.1 Firefighting Operations

Take strict precautions due to:

• Lithium-ion batteries can vent, ignite, and produce sparks above 300°F.
• Vehicle may burn rapidly.
• Fires may re-ignite after initial extinguishment.
• Use a thermal imaging camera to ensure the battery is cooled.
• Advise second responders of re-ignition risk.
• Store burning batteries in an open area, 50 feet from exposures.
• Burning batteries can release hazardous gases (hydrogen fluoride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide). Use SCBA and full protective gear.

6.2 Extinguishers

• Small fires (wiring, electrical components) use an ABC extinguisher.
• Do not use small amounts of water on high voltage battery fires; this can cause electrocution.
• Use large amounts of water (min 2,650 gallons) to cool high voltage battery fires.

6.3 How to Deal with the Situation

Fire: Extinguish with a large amount of water. Do not use seawater or saltwater.

Damaged battery or Fluid leak*: Disconnect 12V Battery (-) terminal, disable the high voltage system, and neutralize the battery with a large volume of water. (*If electrolyte leakage or H.V battery casing damage is observed.)

6.3.1 Vehicle Fire

• Use a large volume of water (min 2,650 gallons) to cool the battery. Applying water to the battery casing is effective. Do not penetrate the battery or its casing.
• Soaking the vehicle in a water-filled container can be effective.

6.3.2 High Voltage Battery Damage and Fluid Leaks

If electrolyte leaks or battery casing damage occurs, apply a large volume of water to the battery pack while wearing appropriate PPE. This neutralizes and stabilizes the battery but does not discharge it.

• Do not have smoke, sparks, or flames near the vehicle.
