Electric bus catches fire, looks like something out of a movie<\/p>\n
I dunno who needs to see this, but that electric bus that caught on fire looks like it came straight out of a movie! My goodness, that looks horrendous! The NTSB said they’re getting involved with the investigation on what sparked this electric bus fire. A report on CT Insider said: “Working with Connecticut State Police and state officials, NTSB is investigating a fire that consumed a CTtransit battery electric bus (July 23) in Hamden, Connecticut. The bus was in a maintenance facility at the time,\u201d the NTSB tweeted Friday afternoon.”<\/p>\n
The\u00a0report added more information<\/a> on what caused the fire, saying the following:<\/p>\n The fire, which destroyed one of CTtransit\u2019s dozen electric buses, was the first of its kind for the state\u2019s fleet. The rest of the electric fleet was pulled from service since then. \u201cLithium ion battery fires are difficult to extinguish due to the thermal chemical process that produces great heat and continually reignites,\u201d Hamden fire officials said. Two transit workers exposed to the smoke from the fire were hospitalized as a precaution, and a firefighter was also taken to the hospital with heat exhaustion, officials said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Thanks very much, but I’ll stick with gas-powered vehicles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Electric bus catches fire, looks like something out of a movie I dunno who needs to see this, but that electric bus that caught on fire looks like it came straight out of a movie!
