It's also worth keeping in mind that rural fire departments that all have tanker trucks typically carry only 1,500-3,000 gallons and need to continuously fill up from a pump site, drive to the scene, dump in a pond, and continue. Typical gasoline car fires will take less than 1,000 to extinguish. EVs are challenging from this perspective, and departments are just now starting to learn how to deal with them, it's a whole new ballgame.
