Tesla, in guidance for first responders, recommends firefighters allow the battery to “burn itself out” rather than continuously trying to put it out.
Lithium batteries will continuously reignite. And sometimes without a crash or after a crash.
The Alameda County Fire Department responded to a fire on a pile of debris at a San Leandro junkyard last Friday.
Strangely, they found a Tesla vehicle burning in the pile of junk metal and they are investigating if it is the source.
