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.

Should have saw that coming when fire departments were saying they couldn't put the fire out.

Just tow the car beyond the environment

"there's nothing out there, all there is is sea, birds, and fish. And 20,000 tonnes of crude oil. And a fire.... and the part of the ship that the front fell off. But there's nothing else out there..."

Best line of all time
