FIREFIGHTERS USE 4,500 GALLONS OF WATER TO EXTINGUISH TESLA FIRE 

California firefighters had their work cut out for them when a Tesla that caught on fire kept reigniting. According to a Facebook post from the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District, the Tesla had been sitting in a wrecking yard for three weeks while waiting to be dismantled after an accident. When firefighters arrived on the scene this month, they repeatedly extinguished the fire but the car kept reigniting. Teslas have lithium-ion batteries that can present fire and explosion hazards when damaged.

… The crews decided to create a small pit filled with water to submerge the Tesla in and extinguish the fire. The pit ultimately reduced the total amount of water needed, estimated at 4,500 gallons.
