Training & Consulting: https://www.stachedtraining.com

A Tesla that had been sitting for over two years — uncharged and tucked behind a business in Jacobstown, New Jersey — suddenly caught fire. Crews knocked it down, but 27 hours later… it reignited.

I’ll walk you through what happened, why reignitions like this aren’t rare, and what every firefighter, tow operator, and business owner should know about storing damaged or long-idle electric vehicles. We’ll talk about the 50-foot storage rule, why sand isn’t a magic solution, and how to handle these situations safely.
