Attack
Wear full personal protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Secure a large, continuous and sustainable water supply — one or more fire hydrants or multiple water tenders. Use a large volume of water such as master stream, 2 1/2-inch or multiple 1 3/4-inch fire lines to suppress and cool the fire and the battery.
Treat all conductive surfaces as if they are energized until they are proven to be safe.
