Request

Sligo Fire Service in the West of Ireland. I'm writing in the hope of some assistance. I'm trying to gather information from larger fire authorities on how they respond to electrical vehicle fires in underground or multi-storey car parks, and how they deal with incidents involving solar panel battery fires. Any Standard Operating Guidelines or Procedures you have would be a great help.
