A Tesla Semi truck caught fire in Northern California, requiring approximately 50,000 gallons of water to extinguish the flames. The incident, which resulted in a freeway closure for 15 hours, has prompted an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) into the fire risks associated with large lithium-ion batteries. The fire was notably challenging to control, necessitating the use of an airplane for an air drop. The US agency reported that the fire occurred on a California highway.
