In case of fire not involving the
traction battery
If there is a fire that has not spread or affects the
traction battery, it can be extinguished using typical
vehicle fire fighting procedures.
WARNING
Do not make contact with any high voltage
components.
WARNING
While performing operations on the vehicle
when a fire has been involved, always
consider the vehicle to still be energized.
Do not touch any part of the vehicle. Use
appropriate personal protective equipment,
including Self Contained Breathing Apparatus
(SCBA).
In case of fire involving the traction
battery
Use continuous fresh water to cool down the area
around the battery.
If the traction battery catches fire or
is venting or gives off odor, always
use water to cool the battery. Use
pure water to cool down the area
around the battery. It may be prudent
to have a sufficiently large water supply and/or the
possibility to obtain/request additional water
supplies when responding to a vehicle accident that
involves fire.
