    given that they can re-ignite at any time, try finding a tow truck that'll take it

    you ever watch a post apocalyptic movie, where people walk by burning cars..??

    the "average" car fire burns for about 30 minutes, +/-, and it goes out.

    Tesla's will be GREAT as a perpetual burning car in those movies, as the fire never goes out, cuz the battery stays hot for like forever....and reignites
     
    mjd4277 Thanks this.

    an ambulance EMT who also works as a volunteer firefighter for a small town here, said those fire blankets are pricey, for his town to buy.

    so all they can do, is practice on a crashed electric car from the junk yard, using water, and foam.

    they also practice with the "jaws of life" as well, to keep up with the rescue training.
