In Case of Fire in the Cab
Danger: When fire is involved, consider the entire vehicle energized and DO NOT TOUCH any part of the vehicle. Doing so could result in severe personal injury or death.
Emergency responders should protect themselves with full personal protective equipment (PPE).
Warning: Do not allow flames, sparks, or any other heat sources (such as cigarettes or light bulbs) to contact materials in the cab. Any materials in the cab in contact with these heat sources could cause serious personal injury or vehicle damage.
Notice: After a fire, do not store a recovered electric vehicle indoors.
When a fire in the cab is detected, quickly bring the vehicle to a safe stop, apply the park brake, and turn off the vehicle. If possible, hit the eStop button on the dash prior to exiting the cab.
According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the incidence of fire in heavy- and medium-duty trucks is rare. In addition, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard #302 limits the flammability of specified materials used inside the cab. However, most materials can burn.
