Fun fact: The big rig battery holds approx 63000 Li-Ion cells. In thermal runaway, each cell releases 6 liters of toxic gases. Multiply by 63000 and we have 378000 liters of toxic gases released into the atmosphere. PLUS, all the water used to douse the fire has runoff into the soil. Where were the water containment devices? So on top of polluting to an extreme degree the air we breathe, it also sent thousands of gallons of toxic water into the ground. A win for the environment I'd say...........
Sure glad they went green. What a crock.
@@mikewendeln5218 I think "Green" refers to the color you turn to when inhaling those fumes....
Tesla is off the hook for the damage done to the environment and the water pollution, how convenient is that.
You know what they say. You can't make an omelette without breaking a few ecosystems.
@@TheCharleseye LMAO...true... ;-)
So every electric burning vehicle crash is gonna shut down freeways?? Sounds like a nice toxic future 😂
I bet that if the toxicity of ordinary fires is compared with that of lithium batteries, it will be seen that BOTH are highly toxic, and that batteries aren’t dramatically worse. In any case, Musk tells us that entirely new batteries, that don’t use rare earth metals, are on the brink of production. Hopefully, they will be safer in every way, as well as better as batteries.
Actually if we didn’t live in such a nanny society most people would do just fine driving by such fires but people these days want mommy to save them from breaking a nail 😂😂
@@yankee2yankee216 Im keeping my fingers crossed !! Im trying to keep away from these petro dinosaurs !!
you dinosaurs ever see a petrol truck or car on fire !!??!!
it aint pretty, either...
@@yankee2yankee216 lithium batteries are much worse, where you can find plenty of fireman videos on YT illustrating the dangers of the gas, which is not just that it’s toxic which it is but because it’s explosive as well. And the gas comes in two forms, ground-hugging and neutrally buoyant.
As for promises of better batteries: how many lies does that guy have to tell you before you realize the next lie is a lie too? And if there are better batteries available soon, why are we fielding these highly dangerous batteries now? …at great taxpayer expense, even.
@@yankee2yankee216 batterie fires are the worst litteraly
2 battery fires shutting down highways within a month. Like someone else said , looks like we’re going to have a great future. Government forcing everyone into EVs and the power companies doubling power prices! Way to go everyone. Very well job done.
Yep keep voting demo crat
So the news takes a few unique stories about EV fires and you think somehow a gas big rig wouldn't also shut down a freeway? Also X, another company by Elon is competing for space in the journalism field so it also makes total sense that other news media companies would try to hurt their reputation. I love gas cars but the reality is Oil is completely gone in a few decades.
@@phoenixvette The next generation of solid state batteries is coming and will be much safer.
1. Electric vehicle fires are much less than Gas. 2. Electric rates are CONTROLED by state agencies so grandma doesn't have the shut the heater off in the winter and freeze to death. 3. Because alternative energy has EXPLODED the utilities have DOVE in to higher efficiencies to SAVE YOU MONEY. 4. Look up the word ACCIDENT. This was an operator error.
@@TomLudkey So what you are saying is we should suspend all EVs until those solid state batteries are ready? No, you're just coping lmao
Look at how much a hassle one truck caused for sooo many people, besides the toxic hazard for the environment
Doesn't matter. The U.S. ПОЛИТИЧКИ БУРО cares more about the political ideology and narrative.
Bu But I don't understand the Television people the politicians and all their friends said carbon was toxic and lithium was "Green" they said all the "scientists" agreed duh I'm confoozed 😉
A delayed Amazon truck too. Looks like prime members may not get their packages within two days.
@@Quibblet Was just thinking about 2 day shipping getting brake checked and annoyed by cars in my rig. Coulda been there today, but alas
The tons of toxic water runoff into the ground is forever.
They'll call in the lithium miners to mine those burnt lithium back into their lithium batteries factory.😄
Came to make the same comment Alex 👍
If I created that much environmental damage I would be dragged through the courts and I would be fined and made a pauper for the rest of my life.
No such thing.
EVERYTHING comes out of the GROUND !!
Heck !! Flood WATER is toxic for the ground !!
This part of CA, the Tahoe area is so strick about water quality and runoff issues. Yet, the geniuses behind the EV madness just turn a blind I to the ecological catastrophes. As the reporter said, imagine the size and number of those batteries. Absolute stubborn stupidity is locked into the EV, Go Green advocates.
Lithium battery fumes are incredibly toxic to everybody and the environment, and can have a long lasting effects on people who breathe these fumes years after
environmentalist only care about “carbon emissions”
it's too bad then, that EV car fires occur 100x less often than gas fires. And the exhaust from a diesel/gas car are poison, you know.
How ironic. An environmentally friendly EV’s linked to words like “toxic.”
At least it wasn’t a nuclear meltdown
@@PETRAMOTION Or a diesel fire. It's not like diesel trucks don't catch fire after they crash.
I wonder what happens when a Diesel Truck crashes and catches fire? Wouldn't it also emit toxic fumes in the air? I wonder if it would burn in a slow and controlled manner, or would it just explode suddenly and perhaps kill the driver or people nearby?
@@jeffreymagni1272 Yup.. it does... they just aren't paranoid about it.
@@twelvewingproductions7508at least they can put out a diesel fire but those batteries all you can do is let them burn themselves out. But sure better for the environment when they catch fire and we can't put them out.
These toxic electric vehicles should be banned. Someone down wind will be breathing these fumes. Extremely toxic! This is happening all too often! Long live petro!
And the critters in the forest - not just humans! And all the runoff water will be toxic too!
Combustion engines have been toxic to people since they were first invented. It's human nature to destroy everything that we are around so why not accelerate our extinction. It's our purpose on this planet.
What about the fumes from diesel trucks that burn? They’re toxic too.
Thousands more people die from guns every year. Let's ban guns.
Electric vehicles can be banned by everyone boycotting them!
How many accidents like this do they need to realise that this battery technology is too dangerous for universal adoption?
they know. they are planning for the adoption to be less universal. rather like how it was in soviet russia.
Battery tech will come around. It’s already in the works.
you ever stick a match in your gas tank ??!!
@@buckdashe2571 which is a strong argument to stop what we’re doing now.
Took them 60 years to tell you cigarette was bad, 70 years to tell you asbestos is bad. And remember, vaccines are safe an effective even if Faucci caught cov 3 times after 6 vax. 🤣🤣🤣
EVs are idiotic enough, but having EV big rigs is totally insane. These shouldn't be allowed on the road!
Don't worry. Elon has supersonic electric jets on his alleged mind so we can have EV battery fires in the rain forests too. Not a joke.
Keep giving Elon Musk your tax money.
Good to hear you're for banning guns. They cause tens of thousands more deaths every year. Insane they aren't banned already!
OK, who slipped the acid into the comment reply section? Not a joke!
Was it a carbon neutral fire ?
yes. no carbons were hurt during this toxic incident
Half. Mile radius. Toxic mess
If this happens in the build up area, imagine an entire city block having to be evacuated for an extended period due to a single tractor-trailer fire. It's insanity.
Yeah happened in Korea a week or so ago.
And the entire area around your home permanently destroyed because it contains toxic water that was used to fight the fire.
Possible death fro inhaling the fumes.
Soot deposits are said to be toxic through skin contact. Special cleaning (?) needed before allowing people back.
Extremely GOOD point!
What most people don't realise about these EV fires is that the batteries release their own oxygen when burning, so can't be put out by normal means, they can even burn underwater. And they burn about three times hotter than normal car fires at about 2,500 degrees F, so can burn through concrete. Hence the car park collapse at Luton Airport in the UK, though they lied and blamed that on a diesel Land Rover.
But I heard that they can electrocute sharks and nearby boats too from a nationally known figure who also tells us that magnets don't work under water ...
EV actually stands for EXTREMELY VOLATILE.
Yes, smoke from all fires is hazardous to breathe!!!
Oh really? I've been driving EVs for 7 years and they've been EXTREMELY RELIABLE.
Explosive Vehicle...
@@InSaN3ViSioNnot if the battery gets punctured lmao. They even struggle in cold weather so I’m good
@InSaN3ViSioN you won't catch me parking an EV in my garage under the house.
Idiotic invention
Just IMAGINE all that toxic gas and run-off water if - no WHEN - something like this happens in a residential area with thousands of people people around!! It doesn't bear thinking about!!
With all the issues around EVs' actual lack of real-world economy and savings of CO² emissions, their questionable reliability and now this kind of deadly risk to ANYONE in vicinity of accidents, which WILL happen within only a few months or years, the consequences are going to be truly horrific!
EVs are a nightmare in waiting!
Hi, we at Exxon appreciate you repeating our propaganda and protecting our retirement funds. Please have a free bag of pork rinds at your next visit to a gas station.
The same thing happened three weeks ago on the I-15 northbound going to Vegas before Baker, CA, a semi truck carrying lithium industrial batteries turned over and caught on fire. They shut down the highway for three days to let the batteries burn. Luckily, I was headed for California coming from Vegas but I still got stuck for a good hour due to highway patrol opening one lane at a time. I’ve never seen so many cars and semi trucks halted in that stretch of highway. It must have been 20 miles long of stranded vehicles. It was a nightmare. Travelers getting stranded for more than ten hours and it was 105 degrees. Hotels were fully booked and gas stations ran out of fuel along the highway. It was an unbelievable scene. That’s why when going on long trips make sure to bring plenty of snacks and/or foods and water. You’ll never know what’s going to happen when ev or trucks carrying lithium batteries catches on fire.
This is how China is going to bring America to its knees without firing a single shot, by funding EV evangelists.
Im a trucker.
I woke up at 4 am in fernley, just east of reno, to deliver in sacramento at 10 am.
I get to about 5 miles from the CA state line and signs say i80 is closed to trucks. So i park in an inspection area and wait for 13 mf hours because ive never heard of a crash taking more than a couple hours to get cleaned up. I ended up taking a nap at like 9 am, woke up to about 70 other trucks parked everywhere. I had to reschedule my appointment and delivered today.
We really need to rethink these electric vehicles. That is f*cking absurd.
Why do you think the road was closed? The fire was offroad and no danger of explosion.
@@slavko321 Toxic fumes
We really need to rethink petroleum vehicles. They are absurd! Think about it - they use a toxic fuel that poisons you when you burn it, it throws away 75% of the energy as heat, has a global, delicate supply chain.
The ignorant posts on here about diesels are unbelievable. Talk about denial of EV dangers.
Truth hurts!
Neither is perfect, both have advantages and disadvantages and inherent dangers.
EVs are great in some cases, diesels are great in some cases.
@@TheAllMightyGodofCod And some dont burn for 20hrs.
@@bigc8300 yeah, depends on the battery, the amount of fuel, the equipment the firefighters have... It's relative.
@@TheAllMightyGodofCod Diesels are great in all cases. Powerful, reliable, repairable, good longevity, and most of all safe because diesel is not an explosive fuel - only under high pressure. Like all vehicles' they have electronic components which can always be an issue. EVs however, they can be a ticking TB. You never know when or if it will happen. At least with a diesel you have a few minutes to get out!! abnd the door handles are usually mechanical.
If the Ca. Gov. Is really concerned with pollution why don’t ANY postal vehicles, county vehicles, cop cars, school buses etc get a smog check?
EV stands for Explosive Vehicles! 😂
There are ICEs and OCEs, outer combustion engines.
@@kowloon9 LOL ALOT RARER DISEL AND PETROL IS MUCH STABLE AT A MOLECULAR ATOMIC LEVEL AND REQUIRES OXYGEN TO BURN , LITHIUM IS UNSTABLE AND REQUIRES NO OXYGEN TO BURN

Multiple tanker deliveries of water to the portable reservoir does not exactly square with the narrative the electric trucks save the environment and replace fossil fuels.
Thank goodness a diesel is powering the pumps.
@@JoeOvercoat no one builds an EV pumper......no fire dept. Would want one!!!
derp....one EV truck fire likely caused as a result of driver error does not exactly negate the environmental benefits from the millions of other EVs safely driving every day.
@@kenbob1071 Likely caused as a result of the driver....and you know this how?
INSANITY!!! And what happened to the toxic water run off? When are they going to stop these dangerous things!!
The BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill left a slick the size of VIRGINIA in the Gulf of Mexico...you were saying?
@@justsomeguy934 What's ypur point? So because you can think of a couple of oil spills what does that prove? A spill can be a danger to wildlife But you need to see the latest studies of oil in the sea. Scientists have found it is digested by bacteria. I can't be bothered with this diatribe anymore.
I guess you've never heard of a gasoline tanker truck exploding after an accident and spilling thousands of gallons of fuel on to the roadway and into waterways.
If the big rig was running on fossil fuels, it wouldn't have been so bad.
it would be something we would have never heard of....non issue
Imagine if this thing went up in a tunnel...
Or a ferry...
Or under a bridge.
..or your church !!
You'd see the light at the end of it 😂
I think trucks carrying hazardous material are already banned from tunnels. The same should apply to battery powered trucks.
So sad for the environment. Electric vehicles will harm your children.
So will everything else in the world. Are you new here?
Not like those diesel or gasoline powered ones, right ?
Did you just fall off the turnip truck ?
Switch to EV's. Theyre safer for the environment.
The tesla fire nobody can put out for 30 days:
they put out EV fires under 1 second , but you need a Water Tender to keep batteries cool , while the Battery pack is ISOLATED . they are now using DUNK tanks in EU & UK.
however BEV are way cheaper to OPERATE .
Tesla only has 3 mos ROI .
Yes, smoke from all fires is hazardous to breathe!!
@@markplott4820it is not fire, it is thermal runway that produces explosive gases. The car can continue after being up from the water again
@@markplott4820 Watch Tesla (battery) burn underwater. It went on much much longer than 1s.

This is such bull. EV's are not helping the environment, they are ruining it.
...says no credible scientist.
Ban these from roads
EV truck is the stupidest idea since the beginning of time.
That fire saved the planet!
🤣 "That fire saved the planet!" Love the sarcasm
Not to mention the thousands of gallons of precious water waisted. Can't wait to see all the EV emergency vehicles deal with EV fires in the future - not.
Looks like the concern here is for the forest, not the truck.
And that water becomes EXTREMELY TOXIC since burned batteries transform it's content into fantastically toxic product.
Tons of water not treated to "help the environment" 🤣🤣
no one makes a EV fire water tanker.
EPA SHOULD STOP THESE TOXIC POLLUTION NIGHTMARE!
Just like everything nowadays, it will always result in the opposite of it's mission statement.
@@paul9156cThe EPA is the enforcement arm
of the EVangelicals. So…yup.
You must be talking about diesel trucks b/c they put out toxic pollution with every mile --not just when they crash and burn.
EPA 🤡🤡🤡have too much money invested into this electric quagmire
@@kenbob1071 and the EV's toxic pollution starts at the nuclear power plant.
Let me clarify. Pepsi is the only company I know of in that area with a Tesla truck fleet. These trucks are essentially constructed out of Tesla S components and one tractor contains roughly the battery power of 3 of those cars. Basically 3 cars worth of batteries and components rolled into one truck tractor. Hey, Elon. Please figure out how to extinguish your products so firefighters (and the rest of us) aren't put in danger from your dangerous products.
Seems like an onboard suppression system like a racecar might be possible for a "genius" like elon.
I agree. This level of hazard would get cars banned if it wasn't EVs
@@TimNelsonProfessional Imagine the total cost of fighting this fire, plus the massive amount of pollution, economic disruption, and costs to both the general public and other companies. Tesla and Pepsi are awfully quiet.
@@TimNelsonProfessional gas/diesel vehicles catch fire 100x more often than EVs do, so says the NHTSA. Before you agree, learn some facts.
@@wallochdm1 you mean the total cost of 100x more often gas car fires? That total cost and loss of life?
They should send the cleanup bill to Elon MUsk.
Send it to the radical left who shoved this technology down everyone's throat

Just saying, a real Tesla vehicle would run on wireless electricity and need no batteries...
Exactly, powered by harnessing lightning if he could
He's rolling over in his grave right now.
The stupidity of transitioning over to EV's.
Toxic and stupidity to have these on the road all the world over! It needs to be shut down for good

So this is what the future looks like. Amazing.
EV's at the present time are stupidity , sure develop them but dont try force these dangerous vehicles on people
EVs at ANY time are stupidity. Other technologies will eventually be developed, but they will not involve batteries. Battery powered vehicles are fatally flawed, as should be obvious by now.
EVs are not dangerous. Teslas are some of the safest vehicles on the road according to NHTSA. Just b/c the Media hypes up every single EV accident and ignores all the thousands of ICE accidents that occur, doesn't mean EVs are unsafe.
Who forces them to?
Corporations see the benefits, that‘s why they are built.
@@geraldscott4302 might as well have a nuclear-powered electric vehicle, Russian roulette at its finest.
@@pan6593 No, corporations do not see any benefits. They were trying to follow the FJB policies. But FJB is gone, and now Chevron Deference has been overruled by the supreme court, and it looks like Ford is gearing up to challenge the CAFE standards, which were never a law, they were just something dreamed up by the EPA, which had no authority to do so. If they are overturned, EVs will go away almost overnight. Manufacturers will no longer have those insane MPG standards to meet. It might also pave the way to be able to make small cars and trucks, like the Ranger and S-10 again.
Love how the reporter mentions the news copter flying overhead and the camera pans up to an empty sky.
Why are they putting water on the rig, they should let it burn out but ensure that the vegetation is wet and fire contained.
trying to keep it cool, so it doesn’t set the things around it on fire, and so that the rig itself is not a secondary fire source. They do the same thing to EVs burning in driveways.
They said that is exactly what they are doing.
Way to go Newscam, mandate EV's that are toxic and can't be put out by normal means of firefighting. Good call meathead.
Hey buddy if the shoe fits ?
It is the brand, not EVs in general. Teslas are junk.
Nothing to do with Newsom. There’s no mandate and no law in affect to have electric semi trucks. If you want to blame anyone. Blame Elon Musk for producing bad vehicles
Uh.. yes there is. By 2030 Newsome passed it.@mahcaebnivek2610

Excellent coverage KCRA 3 !
I remember my grandpa telling me about a car fire in 1907. it was a Ford model T that had a tank of highly flamable gasoline. Unfortunately the government was not there in 1907 to overreact like they do today.
Not to mention that amount of gasoline fires per cent. No relation to anything, just clear out single perspective.
My Diesel F250 caught on fire and was put out in less than a minute. Sad all have to suffer from fools and Greedy politicians.
It probably would have taken longer with a ruptured fuel tank.
Heres an interesting fact about telsa'd battery packs... once they have been damaged and even after they have been extinguished, they can spontaneously combust weeks later. So the fire is never truly put out untill theres absolutely no lithium left to burn.
I predicted this happening just last night. How strange. And I was planning on driving the 80 from Kansas to Sacramento. Huh? Now what? Go to the casino!😂
No 80 in Kansas, smart guy.
Buy stocks!
Remember folks, EV's are zero emission. 🤣
Apart from when its manufactured, when its shipped across the world, when its being charged, when it's on fire and when its scrapped..😂
Send Elon Musk the bill!
why not bill the government who subsidized Tesla production and also signed off on the safety tests??
I never realised electric vehicle fires had clear smoke!
The last toxic fire was a semi truck that flipped over and the batteries it was hauling started on fire and closed the highway down. Now we see it again but a Tesla semi on fire and more toxic fumes in the air. We are going from gas powered vehicles to toxic vehicles. Now every time an electric vehicle catches fire and if it’s in town they will have to evacuate the town.
Thanks for the fresh air
Six weeks later, still burning!
Which came first, the accident or the fire?
Think of all the homes that have these "batteries" installed for "back-up" power!
2 steps forwards- money fleeced -and 10 steps back.
If someone is stupid enough to place a tesla power wall in their home, f them, but what of the neighbors whose home may only be ten feet away. I say ban these dam things now
I have a relative with 4 of them on her house and they do quite well actually.
@@gergc4871I have a relative who sleeps with a gun under his pillow, loaded, cocked, with no safety. He hasn't died yet, so I guess that means it's safe, right?
@TheCharleseye
Yes. That's exactly what it means.
They're installed off the house, outside against the garage wall.
A better analogy would be that her house hasn't caught fire yet after 3 years.
@@gergc4871 Some of them batteries are installed inside a garage, others outside as you state. if either catch fire, you got a big problem. When they burn they can shoot large jets of highly flammable, highly toxic high pressure gas. they are extremely difficult to put out, and may keep burning for a day or more. the potential for spread of the fire to nearby other homes is large, and the extremely toxic gas will require mass evacuation of people and pet immediately. These should not be allowed in residential areas. The risk is too great. I and my pets should not be put at such risk just because a neighbor feels like it is a good thing to install such a dangerous chemical hazmat device on their wall.
That area has vehicles climbing for miles and the elec truck probably over heated and went up in flames. This fire will burn for a while until the batteries discharge before it is out.
Now think about this for a second. The EV mandate was pushed through (our throat) and everyone must drive an EV. This would be every day, multiple times a day. Think about the toxic smoke, the continues burning and the very big hazzards for nature to handle that toxic water and the fires. And still people think the EV's are the safest, best and you name it, that can ever be. I'd rather buy an old volkswagen Beetle from 1970, that is less prone to catch fire and more economical and better for nature because, well it's a car from the 70's still running around.
Multiple times a day, like in, err, gasoline car fires ? That are burning like a 1000 times more per cent ?
Expect more of this with heels up as president.
Progress
Our net zero dystopian future.
Of course, this isn't great for optic or the local environment - unfortunately the first gen Tesla Semi use a 4 year old 4680 Lithium-ion battery design. The *current* LiFePO4 cell technology are nearly in-combustible, they don't suffer from thermal runaway or burn when exposed to fire. The technology is changing rapidly to resolve the risks.
Wasn’t there another semi that caught fire that was hauling lithium batteries?

I wonder whether the knuckleheads that came up with the idea calling the company Tesla had foreseen. The great genius electrical engineer, heavy weight of field theory Tesla would of objected saying "Not in my name"! What a joke!! Yet the thermal runaway continues to flow!!
It's not really Tesla, it's DAVOS 2030's agenda.

Toxic, hazardous, a 1/2 mile minimum safe distance. Sounds like the eco-friendly vehicle isn't so friendly when the only option is to let the "materials burn themselves out". I got an idea, let's go electric for everything! ☠☠☠
Doubt they have a battery blanket big enough for that.
dont think the battery was taking a nap..................
Arent there chemicals that mix with water that put battery fires out faster with less water? The fire trucks at airports mix chemicals in to fight jet fuel fires.
Ok Elon Musk...you gonna pay for this? It's your brain child. What a waste of not only man power but holding traffic up for as long as it takes to put out? Ev's are a big joke!

This just proves that forcing California cars to be all electric is a really bad idea.
Commifornia should stick with Bicycles, like in China.
Something is not adding up here lol...first they cut to a guy that's like, "uh we read in a book to close it", they then report the FD cannot simply just put water on the toxic fire", then cut to helicopter watching one dude spraying water on a truck fire....is there also a windmill back there somewhere killing birds?

Another Newsom success story! When he runs for president his slogan should be "I can do for the nation what I did for California!" Why does anyone still vote Democrat? I used to but the party has gone completely off the rails in the last 10 years.

P.S. You really shouldn't call someone a "duffus" if you don't know how to spell. The irony is just too much to handle.
The problem is that water doesn't douse lithium fires. They can burn without oxygen because they produce their own. So the only way to put them out is to drop the temperature below the combustian point. I wonder if they could use liquid nitrogen instead to put out lithium fires
