Firefighting

USE WATER TO FIGHT A HIGH VOLTAGEBATTERY FIRE. If the battery catches fire, isexposed to high heat, or is generating heat orgases, use large amounts of water to cool thebattery. It can take approximately 3,000gallons of water (applied directly to thebattery); establish sufficient water supply.

Extinguish small fires not involving the batteryusing typical vehicle firefighting procedures.

Always use insulated tools for overhaul.

Heat and flames can compromise somecomponents, resulting in an unexpectedexplosion. Perform an adequate knock downbefore entering a hot zone.

There must not be fire, smoke, or heatingpresent in the battery for at least one hour(consider using a thermal imaging camera tomeasure the temperature) and the batterymust be completely cooled before the vehiclecan be released to second responders. Alwaysadvise second responders that there is a riskof battery re-ignition.

Warnings and Notes

Warning: Always assume Model 3 ispowered and high voltage (HV)components are energized.
