Firefighters Not Prepared To Deal With Electric Vehicle Blazes

1. They should use foam like aircraft fires use.

2. These cars are far from being perfected or eco friendly. What are you going to do with all the batteries? Your house could go on fire as well. Stop giving our oil and gas to China as compensation for debt.

3. Firefighters will adopt to it in the future. Not much of a deal.

4. This needs to be taken down and I'm shocked that this big oil dog whistle bullsh@t is allowed on this channel. EVs are the future and any opposition to that needs to be canceled and removed from society. We need to get this fire chief fired for his total lack of understanding about climate change. This is harmful to the message and the big oil companies will stop at nothing to keep us trapped under their thumb.

5. Sa fai raifléchire !

6. 🤣 have to go to electric because of climate change, takes 4 to 40 times more water to put out, that makes sense.

7. The key phrase here is "not prepared", with an implied "yet". A century ago, emergency responders were not prepared to handle the fires occurring in all those new-fangled gasoline-powered vehicles. Eventually, however, they developed the tools and techniques required to deal with them, and auto-makers engineered their products to pose fewer risks.

   The same thing is happening now. New technology requires new methods and new training. In a couple of decades these will all be in place, and electric vehicles will be the norm, better and safer in every respect than what we have now.

8. When there is a casualty trapped and the car is on fire following an accident ,the fire won't go out and the car needs cutting and dashboard lifting ,this is why car manufacturers need to do something like cone up with something to put it out or a battery that can come off

9. ELECTRIC CARS ARE GARBAGE!!!

10. No chemical fire extinguishers?

11. So let's forget that gas engines have been catching on fire for decade s, hypocrites

12. NBC news – FAKE NEWS , Facts are every EV car maker PUBLISHES wallet instructions on how to EXACTLY Disable a Battery Pack in a Emergency and procedures to put out EV car fires.

13. I wouldnt touch an electric vehicle with a 10 foot poll. I've seen more Tesla vehicle fires this past year than I've seen ICE fires in my entire lifetime. Everyone I know says the same.

    Electric vehicles are being pushed by force, by telling people they need to buy one. Meanwhile the majority of people don't want one.

14. Ok so, not saving the planet, not stopping global warming, we are releasing more toxins with burning batteries that can’t be put out, still have to be charged (mostly with fossil fuels) GIANT SCAM power grab by elite planners..don’t fall for it!

15. Sounds like an opportunity for a new product that solves this. $$$$$$$$$

16. BS these electric cars are not the answer

17. 40000 gallons in the middle of a drought, rich people really don't care. Not to mention who knows what fumes the firefighters are exposed to from batteries. I'm starting to think public transportation is the way to go.

18. Batteries are more polluting than oil exoust.

19. I wouldn't touch a nissan leaf with a 80 foot poll

20. Let it burn out insurance going to total it anyway.

21. Than equip them it’s a shame they even have to make this video

22. Well get prepared

23. I've had 50 fires myself. Oh, the horror. I'll have to vote for tRump. no, wait, I'm getting more guidance, it seems I've had 5000 fires. yeah, yeah, I've had 500000 fires.

24. LMFAO,,, Love it – WE HAVE to start buying Electric vehicles. MEANING: Everyday citizens. I don't suppose ALL the Military vehicles/ Military, commercial air travel/ Trains/ Buses/ Fire engines/ cop cars/ ambulances/ Farm Tractors/ SHIPPING/ River Barges – just to Start with aren't at "Electric vehicle" Level?….. They haven't let everyone know exactly the TAXATION issues of me owning an EV, what makes you think Imma gunna run out-n-buy one!!??..

25. Let's see the calculations on how electric vehicles save the environment as their recharging is powered by fossil fuels and the cost in energy in mining lithium (which has a poor recycling ratio) is very high. Let's get this straight, overpopulation and not fossil fuels is the cause of climate change.

26. This is why its best to wait until the next generation of batteries comes out. The battery pack is half of the price of the EV and is going to be obsolete soon.

27. Better to let an electric car fire "Burn out" then to let the planet "Burn up" 🔥

28. Kinda reminds me of the new normal fires ? Hmmm let me not think..

29. 0:01 means quit cars, use transit or walk/bike

30. I thought at first maybe the problem was the firefighters getting electrocuted when they tried to spray water on the car LOL

31. What about using foam spray anything that can clog the oxygen

32. Told ya. Stupid

33. Jesus Christ saves from sin.
    Romans 3: 23
    For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
    Hebrews 9: 27
    And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
    Isaiah 64: 6
    But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
    Revelation 21: 8
    But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
    Romans 5: 8
    But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
    John 3: 16
    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
    John 14: 6
    Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
    Romans 10: 9-10.
    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
    For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
    Jesus said John 5: 24
    Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
    1John 5: 10-13
    He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
    And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
    He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
    These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
    Ephesians 2: 8-9
    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
    Not of works, lest any man should boast.
    Romans 8: 1
    There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
    1 Corinthians 15: 3-4
    For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
    And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
    2 Corinthians 5: 21
    For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

34. It is Extinguisher D–Dry Powder extinguisher. and has been and hasn't changed. I just checked. (It still eliminates the oxygen element from the fire and "cools".)
    Fire dispatcher or any dispatcher continuing to ask for vehicle type or else all fire agencies having multiple of these extinguishers at hand when responding to traffic fires.
    I took a hazmat class back in 2015 and I learned Ext D continued to be focused upon for electrical fires.
    NTSB needs to get funding for firefighters to take classes and get certified have similar strong foundation of knowledge.
    I am not in fire service or a dispatcher. Odd this issue exists.

35. Wouldn't surprise me that this report was paid for by a dinosaur oil company.

36. CHINA LEADS WORLD IN ELECTRIC VEHICLE SALES.
    
    US oil companies should have diversified but didn't and so will die out like the dinosaurs they are.

37. They'll need to get a large skip and a crane i guess.

38. Ok. A.new problem.so there will be a new future solution. Shouldn't be an issue in a few years

39. Woooow!

40. This episode of NBC News was brought to you by the fossil fuel business, at the same time as the worst ever heat waves hit USA and Canada.

42. As an analogy, I have never found a pair heavy duty dog clippers that won't overheat.

43. Lol! So much for electric cars!! They will burn people alive or the fire will cause more global warming!!!

44. You don't use water on electric! Every ff knows that! Use foam!

45. We already have extremely high car crash rates

46. So, for those of you who don't know or for those who need reminders, Electric vehicles run on Lithuim a rare mineral that is MINED! Mining destroys communities, the ecosystem, the environment and our planet! While we do need to move away from traditional vechiles mining for a rare mineral to replace another mining mineral isn't the best way to save the planet and prevent a 2 degree Celsius!

47. News flash: firefighters are no longer using foam on electric fires. Wonder if there's some solution to this problem?

48. WISH YOU TALKED ABOUT THE TOXINS A BURNING LITHIUM BATTERY PRODUCES DEADLY FUMES

49. Guess where the energy comes from for water fueled vehicles? Water does not burn. It has to either be turned into steam, or have h2o molecules be separated.

    Batteries.

    Cold fusion doesn't work (at least, not yet), and most scientists think it may never work.

    Here's what they say:
