Firefighting a burning Tesla

Burn EV burn: Putting out a Tesla Model S fire is VERY hard

I'm sort of surprised that they can use water to put out the fire. Water and lithium aren't normally a particularly good combination in terms of low flammability.

As long as the battery casings aren't cracked, I should think that the cooling effect of the water is needed and reduces the risk of an explosion. If the casings are cracked on the other hand...

It could be like watching a larger scale GCSE science experiment with water and potassium.
