"Massive EV Inferno: California Firefighters Get Real-World Training in Electric Vehicle Safety. In a bold and unprecedented move, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has deliberately set 18 electric vehicles ablaze to help develop crucial guidelines for firefighters responding to EV-related emergencies. The controlled burn, which took place in a specially designed facility, provided firefighters with hands-on experience in tackling the unique challenges posed by electric vehicles. As the adoption of EVs continues to accelerate, this groundbreaking exercise aims to ensure that first responders are equipped to handle the growing number of EV-related calls."
