SoFla Firefighters Get Trained On Electric Cars, How To Handle Fires

New cars on the road are, in turn, bringing new challenges to firefighters.  

State CFO Jimmy Patronis announced in Boca Raton that firefighters will be trained on how to handle electric car fires.  

Patronis says the lithium-ion batteries in the cars are fantastic, but they also can reignite after a fire.  

That's what apparently happened in a Fort Lauderdale crash four months ago that killed two teenagers in a Tesla.
