EMERGENCY RESPONSE Fire Approach and extinguish a fire using proper vehicle fire fighting practices. • Extinguishing Agent Water has been proven to be a suitable extinguishing agent. • Initial Fire Attack Perform a fast, aggressive fire attack. Divert the runoff from entering watershed areas. Attack teams may not be able to identify a RX400h until the fire has been knocked down and overhaul operations have commenced. -
Page 18: Overhaul
EMERGENCY RESPONSE Defensive Fire Attack If the decision has been made to fight the fire using a defensive attack, the fire attack crew should pull back a safe distance and allow the NiMH battery modules to burn themselves out. During this defensive operation, fire crews may utilise a water stream or fog pattern to protect exposures or to control the path of smoke. -
