This would be straight up terrifying. That one that ignited after crashing into the tree a few months ago took something like 30,000 gallons of water to extinguish. I think it is only a matter of time until it happens
I thought it was a "D" fire, meaning it's a combustible metal fire. most fire suppression equipment is A-B-C compliant (A ordinary combustibles, B flammable liquids, C electrical).
source: I was certified for wildfire fighting and had the basics drilled into me. I can also look at the MSDS diamond and tell you right away how afraid of whatever is inside I am.

And then a Space X rocket falls out of the sky for a perfect ClusterMusk trifecta.
Imagine paying money to be trapped in a concrete tube in a car that takes that much water to put out.

Such carelessness makes you a great candidate to work at Tesla!
Just kidding, you would be overqualified by this response alone.
They had to keep adding water because if they didn't douse the surrounding area, it would have set the forest on fire
That's correct, one of the articles said that the firefighters actually called Tesla on the phone to ask them how to put it out. Wild
They should have called in a DC 10 drop fire removedant on the wreck
