WHEN an electric vehicle fire occurs, will your department be prepared?
An electric vehicle (EV) fire can disrupt an entire community, taking up to 8 hours and thousands of gallons of water for traditional extinguishment while releasing toxic chemicals into the environment. With the Rosenbauer Battery Extinguishing System Technology (BEST), a single engine can extinguish an EV fire within minutes. The firefighter spends minimal time in direct vicinity of the fire and the BEST is deployed from 25ft away. The piercing tool punctures in 8 milliseconds and can penetrate all currently known battery housings without creating an electrical current, keeping the fire fighter safe and out of harms way.
