Here's an idea. Tesla and SpaceX cooperate with their technologies.
Add a rocket pack underneath each unit. If the system detects a burning unit, ignite the rocket pack and steer the burning unit far out into the Pacific Ocean.
A smart engineer would provide a means to easily yank a burning unit from the bank of them.
I was unable to find any information on how smart the engineer was in this case.
From what I have read the answer is to throw the burning unit into a hole and cover it with dirt until it burns itself out in a few days.
They are a mere few hundred yards from the Pacific Ocean...
