Eventually, local firefighters had to call sheriff Broward for fire rescue, and Sheriff Broward had a dry chemical fire extinguisher specifically designed to neutralize charged particles. Lithium-
Ion batteries used by Tesla and other electric vehicles can catch fire and burn quickly in collisions, although Tesla keeps its vehicles on fire at a much lower frequency than gasoline.
