>Firefighter Ryan Twombley's TTRC invention is a safer way for first responders to fight EV fires. However, EVs have an unpleasant trick: Once the fire is extinguished, it can spontaneously re-ignite—days, weeks, and even months later. A study in Australia found one extinguished EV "reignited 68 days after the initial incident."
In European countries like Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, and neighboring Norway and Sweden, fire departments aren't taking any chances. An increasingly popular approach there is to haul both a crane and a dumpster to the site of a burning EV. Once the fire is extinguished, the vehicle is craned into the dumpster, which is then topped off with water.
