It is and we had Chemical Fire Extinguishers in place of the regular kind. The were designed for fires based on a chemical reaction rather than wetting and cooling. Lithium is so bad JUJU...cr8crshr/BillI thought the worst thing to use on a lithium battery fire was WATER! This FD used 20,000 gallons?
Theres a couple of youtube vids on a blanket that they were working on to smother the fire. It still takes a long time to extinguish but it keeps it contained.
What's it going to take for them to realize they're not safe? Remember those hover boards that would catch fire and burn the whole house down? These cars can do this too.
The batteries aren't Lithium, they are lithium ion, which is chemically different.I thought the worst thing to use on a lithium battery fire was WATER! This FD used 20,000 gallons?
