If you're an emergency responder, it makes sense to assume you could be dealing with an electric vehicle every time you turn out.

If you have EV charging at your commercial sites, work as a tow truck driver, in roadside assist, as a mechanic, car dealer, or vehicle transport, storage & wrecking, knowing the signs that an electric vehicle is about to catch fire is vital to your safety.

EV FireSafe has been researching electric vehicle battery fires & what they mean for emergency responders, both here in Australia & internationally. This work has been funded by the Department of Defence with assistance from Deakin University.

EV battery fires are very rare, but they pose new & challenging risks to emergency responders. We aim to provide data-driven learnings from past incidents from around the world, especially EV fires where the vehicle was connected to energised charging, to provide focus for future training.

This video is an introduction to our work & a high level look at what we've found.
