Electric Vehicle fires will happen. That is why Littleton Chevrolet provided New England Firefighters and 1st Responders with this valuable safety training.

WE LOVE TO SELL OUR LINE UP OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES BUT THIS IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE WHY LITTLETON CHEVROLET SPONSORED OUR ELECTRIC VEHICLE FIREFIGHTER SAFETY TRAINING CLASS on January 21st. – On January 28th in California, a Tesla spontaneously combusted while driving down the freeway. Firefighters from multiple cities were on the scene for hours issuing over 6000 gallons of water to extinguish the flames and secure the area. One important item that was brought up during our training was that you need to jack the vehicle up in order to access the underside to extinguish and cool the battery. This topic brought up a lot of questions as to why and took a deep dive into how the battery is made and how it performs. Littleton Chevrolet thanks all of the Firefighters and 1st responders that attended our class and we are proud that that weekend of training has given you the knowledge to perform you duties better and efficiently to keep yourself and the ones in the accident safe. If you attended our training, we would love to hear about your thoughts on this maneuver in jacking the vehicle up.
