We saw an interesting press release from the National Fire Protection Association, they released an EV firefighting video game for free with the help of a private developer and a Department of Energy grant. So far, more than a million firefighters have used the game to learn about fighting EV fires.
Well, that pitch was irresistible to us. We wanted to know more about how EVs work in emergencies, and we get to play video games to do it? Awesome, count me in, let the games begin. Here's how the game plays and what we learned from it.

Pretty interesting, though the current primary method of EV Fire fighting tactics is the use of fire blankets, which isn’t as exciting for game worthy.
Also lol @ the author confusing backdraft and flashover.

Some departments are getting water tanks to drop the vehicle in too.
