The Turtle Fire System
Details
The Turtle Fire System is a low-profile EV nozzle engineered to deliver copious amounts of water directly onto an electric vehicle battery case during a fire event. Designed to operate safely, reliably, and effectively under a burning vehicle, the Turtle delivers 500+ GPM directly onto the battery pack while operating unmanned — reducing firefighter exposure to fire and harmful toxic gases.
