E-car fire: Fire brigade reveals new extinguishing strategies!

Heyrothsberge, Deutschland - A dramatic fire at E-cars put the fire brigade of Heyrothsberge to the test and tested tricky extinguishing strategies! Firefighter Michael Neske and his team examined what happens when the battery memory of these electrical vehicles opens in flames. In doing so, they have exposed that the leakage of poisonous gases, the so -called "venting", varied greatly in different models. And that's not all! In just five to 25 minutes, the first sparks can go over in full flame!

erpo -value emergency services face a dangerous challenge! As soon as the electric car burns, it turns out that a "normal" fire-fighting attack with two jet pipes-from the rear and front-is quite effective. The challenge? The extinguishing water urgently needs to get into the battery memory! Deletion is possible in the initial phase of a fire, but it could take up to an hour and a half. Here the targeted prevention of the spread of the fire ensures security, whereby the high -inflammatory gases that escape must be diluted in a special way.

Innovative extinguishing tactics in the test

neske emphasizes that specialized devices that sting the holes directly into the battery are particularly effective in order to quickly insert the extinguishing water. But these devices are expensive and require extensive training! During the test runs, fire protection ceilings only helped to a limited extent, but they could be useful after the extinguishing work to secure the wreck from towing companies.
