Newer electric vehicles are powered by battery packs generating enough power to power the average American household for about three days. This workshop will focus on building tools for the street smart attentive First Responder.  What, where and how these batteries are used and what to do when they fail. This presentation is filled with actual fire scene video, protocol breaches and close call firsthand accounts of emergencies that went wrong.  Lithium-ION batteries are everywhere.
