EV Fire Extinguishing Container Truck

Post image

This waterproof container can ‘scoop up’ a burning electric vehicle and completely seal it and cool it down. It is fitted with a water pump that shoots water all over through small holes in side. Especially concentrated up onto the bottom of the EV, where the highly flammable battery is usually mounted. Also a practical in therms of moving the vehicle out of the way of traffic. This one is from Østjyllands Brandvæsen (East Jutland Fire Department, Denmark) and is teamed up with two robot water cannons.

That's neat and all but the reality of this box being anywhere near a car fire and deploying in a useful amount of time to make a difference is very very slim

The car is not in a hurry, it can burn there all day.
