With more and more electric vehicles hitting the road, fire departments are seeing more cases of EV fires, often stemming from the cars' batteries.
Earlier this year, electric semi-trucks caught fire in Phoenix. It took hours for firefighters to contain those fires, which is a common theme in EV fires.
The Avondale Fire and Medical Department invited ABC15 to see them test out the technology as part of their pilot program which will bring the technology to the Valley for the first time. The BEST unit then slides in under the electric vehicle’s battery. Once the hoses are connected and air pressure provided, the firefighting can begin — all with the flip of a switch.
