Fergus Falls Fire Department Takes Proactive Approach to Electric Vehicle Fires As the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow, concerns about their potential fire risks have also risen. In response, the Fergus Falls Fire Department is taking steps to prepare for the unique challenges posed by EV fires. According to reports, the department has been training its personnel on how to safely respond to EV fires, which can be more difficult to extinguish than traditional gasoline-powered vehicle fires due to the high voltage of their batteries. With the increasing number of EVs on the road, the fire department's proactive approach aims to ensure the safety of both firefighters and the public.
