Procedure for extinguishing a fire

Propulsion battery fire
If there is a visible fire in the propulsion battery, use large amounts of water to
cool the propulsion battery.
Contact the fire service, which has equipment to extinguish fires in propulsion
batteries for vehicles.
For other vehicle fires, not battery fire
In the event of a vehicle fire where the battery box is intact and not on fire, we
recommend using normal procedures for extinguishing a fire.
The propulsion battery must be protected and cooled down with large amounts
of water.
If the battery box is significantly damaged, large amounts of water must be
used to cool the propulsion battery. It is important for the temperature of the
propulsion battery to be reduced by only using water, to prevent risk of fire and
to fight any fire.
