I was a volunteer firefighter for a number of years.
I remember putting out car fires with a brush rig.

If a gas car catches fire, do they print how many gallons was used to extinguish it?

I was a firefighter. Our main engine was a Spartan Metro Star with 1,000 gal capacity. In all the car fires to which we responded, we never had to suction our Peterbilt Tanker.

After the fires it usually took 300-600 gals to top off.

Gas fire: 1,500 degrees, once out it’s out.
Battery fire: 4,500 degrees, can reignite days or weeks later.
