All ya need is some baking soda to put out an electrical fire. ;)

My Dad was on the road one time, and a woman was by the side of the road with her engine on fire. He doused it with baking soda which put out the blaze.

She then yelled at him for ‘ruining her car!

Whatever, Lady, LOL!

What quantity of baking soda would you need for such a thing?

There's an idea for the EV carmakers!

Every EV should be equipped with a 'sprinkler system' which douses a burning EV with baking soda.

Problem solved. ;)

Out of curiosity, why was he carrying around enough baking soda to douse a car fire? That’s a real “Be Prepared” moment!
