The bus being electric, means the firefighting procedure is the same as with electric cars: wait for it to burn up... along with anyone still trapped inside.

Electric is the future, but don't forget that:

  • Gasoline ignites at -40C, needs oxygen
  • Diesel ignites at +50C, needs oxygen
  • Biodiesel ignites at +130C, needs oxygen
  • LiPo batteries can ignite at -200C if punctured, will burn underwater
