“Fires in electric vehicles is one of the situations that the firefighters I encounter appreciate Cobra the most and an area where traditional skills aren’t satisfactory.”
Andreas Andersson, an experienced firefighter and instructor at Cold Cut Systems, conducts Cobra training in Sweden and abroad. The Cobra cutting extinguisher is a powerful tool in several firefighting situations, including electric vehicles.
“Safety is always top priority in firefighting. Any car fire can potentially produce toxic fire gases. Firefighters are trained in handling situations with conventional cars, but as electrical vehicles are on the rise there is a need for training to confidently handle situations specifically concerning Li-ion batteries.”
