According to an online post from the Morris Township Volunteer Fire Company and the Columbia Volunteer Fire Company, multiple crews in Clearfield and Centre counties were dispatched to Interstate 80 Tuesday morning to battle a car fire involving a Tesla. Authorities say due to the vehicle’s lithium ion battery, crews quickly ran out of water and required additional tankers to help extinguish the blaze. In total, fire officials say they used approximately 12,000 gallons of water to finally put out the flames.
