Officials warn about fire dangers for electric vehicle batteries after fatal Cybertruck crash
 
(KRON) — While the cause of the deadly crash in Piedmont is under investigation, firefighters are finding themselves in tricky situations with electric car fires. KRON4 spoke with fire officials on some of the challenges they have faced in putting out these fires.

“Definitely, these lithium batteries in these electric cars are a very big challenge,” said Cal Fire Battalion Chief Brent Pascua.
 
Pascua addressed that this was a Tesla that caught on fire on Aug. 8 in Lafayette.

The fire erupted while it was charging, and the flames leaped, setting another adjacent Tesla on fire.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
