TEEX launches resources and training for first responders on electric vehicle and energy storage system emergencies

Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service has published a stakeholders' report and informational website.

Currently no extinguishing agent is fully effective on these fires, and reignition is a threat for hours or days after the initial event.
