ABC
Use a large sustained volume of water to extinguish lithium-ion battery related fire.
If other materials are involved, use class ABC fire extinguisher.
In case of thermal runaway, the lithium-ion batteries can
release hydrogen fluoride.
The damage level of a submerged vehicle may not be visible.
Submersion in water can damage 12 V, 24 V and 600 V components.
Handling a submerged truck without appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) may result in
serious injury or death due to electric shock.
Avoid any contact with the traction voltage cables and electric components.
If possible disable direct hazards (See chapter 3).
In case of traction battery fire, breather valves (1) may emit
large flames as a result of thermal runaway.
