3-5 Vehicle Fire

• Always utilize full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and self-contained breathing

apparatus during fire fighting operations. Smoke from a LEAF vehicle fire is similar to
smoke from a conventional vehicle fire.

• In the case of extinguishing a fire with water, large amounts of water from a fire hydrant (if

possible) must be used. DO NOT extinguish fire with a small amount of water.

In the event of a small fire, a Type ABC fire extinguisher may be used for an electrical fire
caused by wiring harnesses, electrical components, etc. or oil fire.

In case of vehicle fire, contact fire department immediately and extinguish the fire if possible. If you must
walk away from the vehicle, notify an appropriate responder or a rescue person of the fact that the vehicle is
an electric car and contains a high voltage system and warn all others.
