The fire department worked to put out the fire on the eastbound side of Highway 50 near Sunrise Boulevard in Rancho Cordova, on the side of the road.

Firefighters utilized 2 fire trucks, a water tender, and a ladder truck to douse the flames. They employed car jacks to extinguish the fire below the car.

Officials explained that the substantial volume of water used was because the Tesla’s battery cells continued to catch fire. The occurrence took place around 3:41 p.m. on January 28, 2023.
