- This fire occurred on September 15, 2022, just before noon. The address was 1132 E Main Street. This is a longer video and is shared for training purposes. We are all trying to learn how to handle these types of incidents.@stamfordfiredepartment6344

As a fellow fire fighter I want to say you guys did an excellent job. And for anyone else reading this Tesla now recommends protecting exposures and letting it burn.
good work Stamford CT. 👍now keep in mind everyone of the date, this fire is Sept 15 but Hurricane Ian didn't slam into Ft Myers until Sept 28. so we can't say this is a "flood car" or "saltwater intrusion" (per the recent GMA report 10-19-22) at least not from that particular storm because of course that event hadn't even happened yet. this Tesla is burning for the same reasons as the Samsung Note 7, those exploding Vape Pens, and the once grounded fleet of JAL Boeing 787's.
Bridgehill and other companies make blankets now that work really well on these types of EV Fires
Tesla recommends to consider letting it burn. NTSB has a chart and few of the manufacturers recommend letting it burn. There are 16 modules with 444 18650 series lithium ion batteries for a total of approximately 7100. They're packed tightly together under the car, under cover, protected from salt, water and dirt. When a cell fails, it propagates to the next cell until they completely burn out. Letting it burn speeds the process. Attempting to extinguish slows or delays the inevitable. Good attempt. Thanks for the video.
totally makes sense. especially when there is nothing around it to catch fire.
Letting it burn is also extremely toxic. It's not really an option in a residential neighborhood. Everyone should be wearing a respiratory also.
that's a very similar approach Firefighters are forced to take in regards to structures with Solar arrays on the roof, they have to let it burn since there's no reliable way to ensure voltage isn't present once damage has been incurred.
on the flip side I DO see the HAZ MAT conundrum in regards to letting a BEV fire burn. this is likely the same conundrum the First Responders had to face out in AZ dealing with the 2 massive fires at Gruber Motors (fan boys think nobody remembers that shit but i do).
in the end really the disaster is "self-determing" because of the great difficulty of extinguishing Lion. analogous to fighting Western Wildfires the strategy (for better or worse) devolves down to mere CONTAINMENT while the blaze "runs it's course" and uses up all it's fuel.
@@mkgriff1492 People can shelter in place with doors and windows closed or move to a safer area. Trying to drown it with water places all kinds of harmful and toxic chemicals into the water where they don't easily dilute as in the air
When did this happen?
today at 11:30ish
Imagine that in a parking garage or worse yet your garage.
Imagine an underground parking garage below a hospital or other location that is almost impossible to evacuate.
El Futuro!
Apenas se gastó agua...que locura los coches eléctricos 🤦🏻♂️
Thay need sum foam on this car fire
Shove a water curtain under it next time and just let it run!
What a waste of resources.
Atleast with a ice vehicle fire can be exstinguished quick nah you can have your electric crematorium on wheels
Safest car in the world lol.
Safest car to die in. 47 humans got cremated up to now in fiery crashes in these modern Pintos!
I was joking, I know they're deathtraps.
Should be spraying the water into the car not under it...
In this model, the batteries drop onto the ground and are UNDER the car
@@SiriusPhil Exactly
It's crazy how many of these teslas catch fire
Not crazy when you know how badly made they are.
The number of non-electric cars that catch on fire every day will really blow your mind!
15 Tesla fires in July, 15 in August, and 9 in Sept. already! The 'Pinto of the century' sets new records?
Interesting... where are your numbers coming from?
@@SiriusPhil I have an excel list. with >> 300 entries.
@@shortshortscoin3473 thanks for sharing the info
@@shortshortscoin3473 same question applies, where are you getting your numbers from?
No thank you, see this all to often.😳
And to think there are homeowners with Tesla Power Walls attached to their homes. Sheer madness.
EV cars go on fire 1/10th the amount that gas cars do. Get educated.
Do you light candles at home or have high powered wires attached to your house?
@@debrahandel4923 true, but it takes 10 times as much water to put out an EV fire compared to a gasser.
@@debrahandel4923 my house is powered entirely by solar panels and the proven safe LifePo 4 battery bank and inverter.
@@basspig I believe the power walls have been proven very safe as well. Have had my solar since 2008 and my power walls since 2018.
Probably intentional nobody in it fortunately.
Why are they spraying water at high voltage; are they dummies or something???? They'll need too pile a mountain of dirt on the car too smother the fire. Where's the dump truck??They must not realize all that water on the ground is contaminated from the chemicals in the battery; they're creating more hazardous situation.
Because EV fires require copious amounts of water. Or you could just stand there and let it burn itself out after 4 hours. Smothering the fire wouldn't do anything as the battery probably has an oxidizer
Because they are brighter than you and know that the high voltage is not in the battery pack, it si produced as required in an inverter and also they know that water is not a good conductor electricity..
Copius amounts of water is the correct agent to try and stop thermal runaway. The cells need to be cooled. The problem here is getting thr water to the cells that need to be cooled.
The smoke is toxic they are doing their best. It's Telsa responsibility to help to give these fire departments training manuals on how to properly put out these fires because it's the toxic smoke in a neighborhood that is a huge issue. These guys are doing their best and using a standard method to put out car fires.
"Protect the Environment they said" ..., "you're saving the planet they said" These things are a ticking time-bombs.
Oh is this saving the environment?
😜😂😂😂😂
Maybe just a fragment of the Globalist de-population agenda
Lithium battery
Li + H2O = LiOH + H2
Water in contact with lithium produces hydrogen, which burns.
A couple hundred pounds of sand probably would have put out this fire in two or three minutes, or less.
But I do suppose that these days it’s tough to carry hundreds of pounds of sand on every fire truck, just in case you happen to get called out to fight an EV fire. In the future, though …
Lithium ion. Not lithium metal. Big difference.
I was wondering the same thing. There has to be different to over come such fires.
Couldn't foam extinguish such a fire?
That chemistry equation isn’t balanced. -10pts
No foam recommended by mfg
A waste of a lot of good drinking water
And too think,,, dirt or sand would've smothered this fire instantly.
@@rexracer7192 Not they would not.
@@rexracer7192 it will not stop the problem of thermal runaway, it would just mask the problem for a little while.
