Now, there is a new device that punctures holes in an EV's battery, and floods it with water.
"It goes right through it. It's pretty amazing," said Battalion Chief Siler.
Arizona-based Velocity Fire Equipment is calling the device the BEST (Battery Extinguishing System Technology) system. Fire crews would push the device under where the car battery would be, and then, using air pressure, they jam the piercing nozzle through the bottom, and flood it wit water.
"As fast as 15 minutes and 500 gallons of water, the fire is out," said Todd.
