Extinguishing EV fire is not hard, you just just need a lot of water. The problem is that it will re-ignite after a while. So you can't just leave it after that, you need to move the wreck to a safe location and have some firefighters wait until if reignites, drown it in water and repeat.. The alternative is to drop the car in a container of water, but has it's own drawbacks.
