Turtle Fire System — Under-Vehicle Nozzle for EV Battery & Thermal Runaway Fires
The only nozzle designed to slide under a burning EV and cool the battery pack directly. As EV fires become more common, the old playbook — surround-and-drown with 30,000+ gallons — is failing departments. The Turtle Fire System puts water where the fire actually is: on the battery case, from underneath.
Available in two flow rates
- Mini 300+ GPM — $2,485 — for compact engines and quick-attack units
- 500+ GPM — $2,985 — for full response and heavier flow requirements
Why departments are adopting it
- Attacks thermal runaway at the source — water on the battery case directly, not just the vehicle body.
- Firefighter stays out of the hot zone — deploy and operate without crawling under a burning vehicle.
- Uses far less water than surround-and-drown — critical when hydrant supply is limited or you're on tender shuttle.
- Made in the USA by DFC.
Beyond EV fires — real-world applications
- Suppress thermal runaway in EV and hybrid vehicles
- Buy critical time for occupant rescue
- Cool flammable liquids and fuel tanks safely
- Exposure protection in high-risk areas
- Basement fires and deep-seated fires in hard-to-reach spots
- Decontamination for firefighters and equipment
- Hazmat incident support
- Maritime — ports handling EV/hybrid vehicle shipments
- Bridges, tunnels, parking structures, and lots

FAQ
Which flow rate should our department buy? Rural / tanker-shuttle: Mini 300+ GPM. Urban / hydranted: 500+ GPM. Not sure — call us.
Is training required? DFC provides training materials with every unit; on-site training available for department orders.
Grant funding? We regularly quote for AFG applications — email us your grant requirements.
How is it deployed? Slid under the vehicle with a low-profile approach; operator remains at a safe distance.
