Technology Has a Cost

We know that fire scenes are dynamic. Every time we open a trade journal or read a nearmiss report, something new is identified in a way we had not seen before.

Sometimes technology is the driving force for this development. The latest innovations that seem to provide the most concern for firefighters are the advancements in electric power and how we address these innovations.

The featured report involves an electric vehicle (EV). EVs are becoming more available, and we see new concerns when igniting. The latest technology will always bring innovations in our daily life but can also provide unique challenges. This report details how a vehicle fire in a garage became much more than expected.

Electric Vehicle in Garage Causes Explosion

Report Number: 23-14382

EVENT NARRATIVE

Initial size-up: Two-story residential with nothing showing, investigating. Post 360, we had a lookout basement and confirmed smoke in the building. I switched to an offensive strategy through the front door utilizing a preconnect.

Event Description: An atmospheric ignition occurred while fighting a plugged-in electric/hybrid vehicle fire inside a closed garage. The result of said atmospheric ignition was the garage door blew off its tracks into the yard, almost injuring a safety officer. Additionally, at the time of the atmospheric ignition, three firefighters were inside the garage, and one firefighter was standing at the garage doorway to the house. A burst of fire blew back the firefighter in the door several feet. All firefighters were uninjured in this event.

Consider the following topics for discussion:

• How often do you interact with an electric or hybrid electric vehicle?

• Discuss what you know about EVs and how controlling a fire in one differs from a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle.

• What is off-gassing? Are you familiar with this hazard as it applies to a vehicle fire?

• What are the ways an EV can be compromised and ignited?

Lessons Learned

Describe the lessons learned at this event. What recommenda- tions do you have to prevent a similar occurrence? Confirm with the responsible party ensuring life safety needs were met. Ensure you ventilate a charged environment when possible. Utilize a TIC to determine the environment and heat sources. PPE protects you even as much from the unexpected as from the expected.

List any other info that was important for situational awareness. Battery off-gassing and how to manage such in a dynamic firefighting environment is a new tactic for our department. We may have had a safer outcome if we had understood this situation better and possibly considered venting the area before entering and attacking.

Electric vehicles have an excellent safety record, but like any vehicle, there are ways the system can become compromised and catch fire.

NFPA Today published an excellent blog post identifying several ways a battery system can be damaged.

• Thermal Abuse - An outside fire that heats the battery compartment.

• Electrical Abuse - Such as overcharging.

• Mechanical Abuse – An example could be caused by a vehicle accident.

• Internal faults - Could be from low-quality components or errors in manufacturing.

• Environmental impacts - Like abrupt changes in the weather. -- O’Connor, 2021

Though other less common causes can initiate an event, these are the most common.

Besides being burned by an arc or shocked by the electrical charge, we must be very cautious attacking a fire in a battery system. EV fires have several aspects we need to observe.

The first is that when the battery compartment becomes compromised, the electrical charge in each battery is still available. Any short circuit will make the situation worse. The term used most for this hazard is “thermal runaway.”

When a vehicle experiences thermal runaway, batteries heat up and rupture, sometimes violently, releasing the flammable electrolyte in the batteries. This begins the chain reaction that spreads to other battery cells. Because the batteries are contained, heat builds up fast, releasing more energy. The battery cells are placed close to each other, and the heat will transfer to the next cell, causing it to fail. As the heat moves from cell to cell, it spreads fast.

As the reaction doubles, the batteries begin to off-gas from the heat. “The gasses released from batteries are highly flammable and toxic. The type of gas released depends on the battery chemistry involved but typically includes gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, methane, ethane, and other hydrocarbons. If the gas is able to reach its lower explosive limit before finding an ignition source, then there is the potential for an explosion” (O’Connor, 2021).

The first photo at right shows a device that punctures the battery compartment under the vehicle. Water is then pumped through this appliance and floods the compartment.

The next photo shows a blanket that covers the vehicle to smother the fire.

Venting the space if the vehicle is inside a garage is vital to this type of fire attack. A final consideration is the power left in the battery pack. “Stranded energy is the term used for when a battery has no safe way of discharging its stored energy” (O’Connor, 2021).

After a fire, it can be challenging to determine the extent of energy left in the batteries and what that can do. It frequently causes reignition hours or days later. Some impound lots refuse to accept EVs that have been involved in a fire due to this reason.

Controlling a vehicle fire of this type requires large volumes of water to complete extinguishment. For isolated locations, protecting exposed areas and allowing the fire to burn itself out may be neces- sary. Being mindful that when the temperature rises, the batteries can explode violently. Additional caution is essential!

Compared to a standard vehicle fire, EV fires have hazards we are not accustomed to. Learning more about these types of incidents can also extend to managing the home battery backup fires, hoverboard fires, and other types of battery-powered device fires we encounter. Lithium-ion batteries are useful tools in the advancement of technology, but we must manage the incidents effectively.

Sharing how these incidents are managed is an excellent way to advance how firefighting can manage technology.
