Cortlandville Fire Department on electric vehicle fire safety

[Electric Vehicle Fire Test] Last month, the SCDF and HTXSG jointly conducted an Electric Vehicle (EV) fire test at the Home Team Tactical Centre. The fire test served to validate SCDF’s firefighting procedures during an EV fire, as well as evaluated the effectiveness of the firefighting equipment used for such incidents. As part of the fire test, an EV was intentionally set on fire and allowed to burn until thermal runaway [the uncontrollable self-heating of the EV battery] occurred. First sign

facts_n_science on Instagram: "Unlike gasoline-powered vehicles, electric cars run on lithium-ion batteries, which react dangerously when exposed to water during a fire. Spraying water on a burning EV can worsen the situation by triggering thermal runaway—a chain reaction where the battery cells overheat uncontrollably, leading to explosions, toxic gas release, and even reignition hours or days later. Unlike traditional car fires, EV fires burn hotter, longer, and are harder to extinguish, makin
