I stand with most CA FDs. They carry what is needed to extinguish an electric car fire. One large water tender, plus the engine on scene, provide more then enough water than they say "could" be required. As technology moves forward, emergency services must adapt to all the explosive devices that now power air bags in doors and ceilings and places they never were before....firefighters train to be able to use rescue tools to get folks out without killing either rescuer or rescued. One thing is for certain, there is no agency that provides more specialized and varied emergency rescue services then our fire departments. That requires constant training to stay ahead of our changing technology and society. It's a never ending job.
