From Tessla's first-responder guide:
> If the high voltage battery catches fire, is exposed to high heat, or is bent, twisted, cracked, or breached in any way, use large amounts of water to cool the battery. DO NOT extinguish with a small amount of water. Always establish or request an additional water supply.
- JoeAltmaier 10y ago'large amounts' is probably an effort to cool the rest of the pack and prevent the fire spreading. Not a way to actually put out the cells already on fire?
- Retric 10y agoRemove enough heat and fires stop. The geometry of battery packs may make this difficult, but at a minimum it can prevent secondary fires. PS: However, simply letting a wretched car burn is generally safe and the car is already totaled so there is little reason to mess with it.
