It may take weeks to quench Waymo EV fire, Phoenix Fire officials say

The fire happened at a Phoenix warehouse on the morning of May 2, and it prompted a massive HAZMAT response from firefighters.
According to Phoenix Fire officials, they used a not often used strategy to battle the EV fire, and the fire could take weeks before it is completely put out.

Single car burning for weeks, is that better for the environment too?

[@curtisducati]

I bet all this cost 150k with 60 guys and all the time , then there unable to get rid of the battery so end up in a field but they don't mention that

[@mustangracer5124]

YES!!.. because the ones who made millions on insider trading who mandated them are in HAWAII breathing clean air.

[@icedriver2207]

Can you imagine what is going to happen the first time one of these catches fire in a tunnel.

[@derekcruz7576]

They burn longer than they drive.

[@rckc.1719]

after a while you will not be able to import these things, because ship owners will not want them on their ro ro ships.

I love the smell of EVs burning in the morning.

[@aaronmiller5012]

Zero emissions and clean air am I right?!

[@arneminderman3770]

Its a joke!

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

1200 pound batteries are not the answer. They create enormous CO2 during manufacture and recycling even more. It's a poorly thought-out idea. Owners act as if no environmental damage is done like it just comes out of nowhere.🤣

[@freddied2485]

You can find better and better ways to put out an EV fire but it gets more and more expensive to put out and EV fire.

[@erich84502a]

Some fire crews must tilt them on jacks to spray underneath. 3000°

[@darthpadre3263]

I wonder how much of those toxic/hazardous fumes those people inhaled just standing around like its a show. That looks real good for the environment too!

[@mscottmiracle1396]

Could we use those batteries as some kind of combustible fuel to power a real vehicle?

[@mustangracer5124]

looters won't need Molotov cocktails anymore.. they will use electric car batteries!

Yes!!😂

EVs are an eco nightmare!

No one was injured righto they inhaled all sort of garbage

[@msheart2]

How much better for the environment!

[@Tusconforklift]

So ev are heavy and also if they catch on fire they burn at 3000 degrees, how is one supposed to survie a serious accident in one..? No thanks, like someone else wrote on here sounds like the new unimproved pinto

[@erp2000]

Take weeks but it was put out in a few hr

[@d.b.cooper]

Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny how the lower third said at least three weeks to extinguish a fire, and then the reporter was saying that it’s sitting there still smoldering, but you couldn’t see a wisp of smoke.

[@rispatha]

You can extinguish the fire of the body and interior rather easily. They are talking about the battery still being the issue since the chemicals in them can still burn and smolder for weeks which doesn't necessarily mean you will see smoke or fumes.

[@needtoknowbasis3499]

I love my EV. I no longer fork out $500 a month on gas.

[@canyonmonkey2537]

Do I smell hotdogs roasting?

[@jonhamilton5789]

Wait until you have to replace the batteries, you’ll need to sell a kidney.
