Page | 067 Fisher Engineering, Inc. Energy Safety Response Group electrically isolated all the Megapacks on-site and called emergency services: Country Fire Authority (CFA). The CFA arrived shortly thereafter and set up a 25 m (82 ft) perimeter around MP-1. They also began applying cooling water to nearby exposures as recommended in Tesla’s ERG. The fire eventually spread into a neighbor Megapack (MP-2) installed 15 centimeters (cm), or 6 inches (in), behind MP-1. The CFA permitted MP-1 and MP-2 to burn themselves out and did not directly apply water into or onto either Megapack, as recommended in Tesla’s ERG. By 4:00 PM (approximately six hours after the start of the event), visible fire had subdued and a fire watch was instituted. The CFA monitored the site for the next three days before deeming it under control on August 2, 2021, at which time, the CFA handed the site over for the fire investigation to begin.
