Thanks to the actions of the Brooklyn Center Police Department who were near a service station on the evening of Tuesday December 30 when an electric vehicle (EV) that caught fire while the EV was filling up at the gasoline pumps, a potential tragic event was stopped. The Brooklyn Center Police Officers managed to move the EV away from the gasoline pumps and away from underneath the canopy to prevent an explosion, Firefighters from the Brooklyn Center Fire Department came to the scene of the incident by using a special fire blanket and a device called "The Turtle" which is like a huge sprinkler to cool down the battery packs underneath the EV. The time for the fire to be put out was around 2.5 hours and use 30,000 gallons of water. Thank goodness no one was hurt in the incident. Link is msn.com/en-us/news/us/,,,
