• When the vehicle is on fire, quickly leave
and stay away from the vehicle at a safe
distance; make an emergency call and
notify the rescue personnel that the
vehicle on fire is an electric vehicle
equipped with high-voltage components.
When a fire occurs, for personal safety, the
following operations can be carried out if
conditions permit:
• If the harness smokes and catches fire,
spray with carbon dioxide or dry powder
extinguisher.
• If smoke is emitted from the power
battery, it should be considered that the
power battery is heating up. Please use a
high-pressure water gun to extinguish
the fire from a distance.
• If a person accidentally inhaled thick
smoke, please move the person away
from the scene and seek medical
treatment as soon as possible.
• After all flames and smoke have
completely subsided, use a thermal
imaging camera to actively measure the
temperature change trend of the power
battery. There should completely no fire,
nor smoke or heat in the power battery
for at least one hour before the vehicle
can be moved. The power battery must
be completely cooled before taking away
the vehicle from the accident scene.
Remind the transporter that there is
always a risk of the power battery could
re-ignite.
• When extinguishing residual fires in the
latter stages of fire fighting, it is important
to make sure that the power battery is
completely cooled in order to prevent it
from re-ignition. The power battery can
re-ignite when it is close to an ignition
source. To prevent possible electric
shock and personal injury, do not
damage the power battery housing.
