There are situations where containing an EV fire or letting it burn isn’t enough – where crews need to take action to protect people, property, or prevent escalation. The Turtle Fire nozzles help cool the battery and control the fire from underneath the vehicle, supporting safe and effective intervention.
Electric vehicles are becoming more common globally,
with adoption accelerating across North America, Europe, and Asia.

What this means for crews
The Turtle Fire Systems is a purpose-built tool created to address the challenges of EVbattery fires.
Its low-profile, patented dome-shaped design delivers water across the battery area from underneath the vehicle, providing 360° coverage without relying on precise positioning.
Hole sizing delivers a forceful column of water, supporting rapid heat absorption while allowing debris to pass through. The rounded design promotes smooth, consistent flow, avoiding the turbulence often created by square or flat systems.
OUR PRODUCTS
Designed to support different operational needs—from high-demand incidents to environments where space, access, or water supply is limited—our range includes:
Turtle Fire Systems
High-flow system for maximum output
and coverage in demanding incidents
Mini Turtle Fire Systems
More compact design, offering the same approach
in a smaller, easier-to-handle format
Mini Turtle Fire Systems LF (Limited Flow)
Designed for environments with restricted
water supply, delivering controlled flow for
extended operations
Designed for how EV fires behave
Battery packs sit underneath the vehicle, the origin isn’t always clear, and thermal runaway can cause the fire to spread between cells. The system delivers water across the battery area from underneath.
Supports safer, more effective response
Can be deployed quickly and operated from a distance, helping reduce time in the IDLH atmosphere. Frees crews to focus on rescue and other priorities.
Focused on control and limiting spread
Delivers sustained, forceful water with 360° coverage, helping cool the battery and reduce escalation. Supports a more controlled response.
