Moose donate special to MC firefighters that will assist in battling electric vehicle fires
An electric vehicle battery fire is unlike a regular fire, and controlling an EV fire takes special equipment, such as EV fire blankets, explained Kevin McNamee, chief of the Hartfield Volunteer Fire Department.
Middlesex Moose Lodge 2401 recently donated one EV fire blanket to each of the four Middlesex volunteer fire departments including: HVFD, Lower Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department in Deltaville, the Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department in Urbanna, and the Upper Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department in Water View — four blankets in all.
