This particular mission was created with active fire service members input.

Ev fires definitely need a lot of water I actually think another engine should be added.

couple of the departments near me place the EV cars that are on fire into a dumpster and use a loader to fill it with sand. they wait about 2 weeks later to remove the EV car out of the dumpster.

There are quite a number of companies particularly in Europe running trials and pilots with vehicles to extinguish EV fires.

I have attended EV fires and they require an Olympic size swimming pool of water to extinguish them
