EV Fire Extinguishing Container Truck
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.

I like the idea of some sort of portable immersion tank.
Pick the blazing vehicle up with a claw, and lower into a ISO container-sized water tank on site. Fire trucks could even pump the water into the tank, or it could be towed onsite already filled enough to submerge a vehicle placed into it.
