The vehicle battery compartment spontaneously caught fire while it was traveling freeway speeds on EB Hwy 50. The fire was extinguished with approx 6,000 gallons of water, as the battery cells continued to combust. Thankfully no injuries were reported.

Crews arrived to a Tesla Model S engulfed in flames, nothing unusual prior. 2 Fire Engines, a water tender, and a ladder truck were requested to assist. Crews used jacks to access the underside to extinguish and cool the battery. Thousands of gallons were used in extinguishment.

Who failed to attend science class on this one? Water & lithium do not mix. To put out a lithium battery fire you put it out with a foam... Maybe some more training is needed as these batteries are everywhere and they are not going away. #Chemistry and Fire Science knowledge help

Perhaps you should read Teslas emergency manual before commenting on procedures. Thank you!👍

Gas cars are statistically 500x more likely to have a fire for all reasons, when’s the last time you reported a car brand on one of those fires. Crickets…
