There are 4 types of fire extinguishers Type A B C and D
You DO NOT put out an electric car fire with a hose and water. You need to use a special type extinguisher for lithium batteries.

What Are Class D Fires?
Class D fires are those that occur from combustible metals, such as aluminum, titanium, magnesium, lithium, zirconium, sodium, and potassium.

These types of fires usually occur in industrial, manufacturing, or laboratory settings when the metal fines - tiny, thin pieces of metal, often shavings or dust generated during the machining process ignite, becoming the fuel element in the fire triangle (fuel, oxygen, heat plus a chemical reaction).

Class D fires can cause significant damage and are not simple to put out. The cost of a type D extinguisher is around $900.
