On May 31, according to foreign media reports, like many fires in Tesla Fremont factory, the factory of electric vehicle manufacturer rivian in nomore, Illinois, has been on fire for many times since last year, and it was on fire again last Saturday**
The news that the rivian nomore factory had another fire last Saturday was disclosed by the nomore fire department.
According to the news released by the nomore fire department, the fire in rivian factory occurred at 10:38 a.m. on Saturday. The fire was located in the battery assembly area in the southwest of the factory. At that time, a group of defective battery packs were being repaired in the repair workshop. The temperature was too high during the test, and then the fire broke out.
After receiving the report, the nomore fire department rushed to put out the fire and watered the battery pack on fire. Due to the large area of the plant, the nomore Fire Department requested personnel support from the nearby Bloomington fire department. The staff of the nomore fire department who were on leave were also called to participate in the handling of other accidents.
After the open fire of the burning battery pack was extinguished and cooled down, the firefighters moved the battery pack outside the factory for corresponding treatment and began to ventilate the factory. The specific cause of the accident is still under investigation.
The news released by the nomore fire department also showed that the fire in rivian factory did not cause casualties due to the timely evacuation of personnel. At the same time, the battery pack caught fire in the test area and did not affect the whole vehicle and its production equipment. The losses in the accident were only the battery pack, vehicle and test equipment.
According to foreign media reports, the rivian nomore factory had two fires in October last year and February this year. Last October, the fire broke out in the automatic battery assembly area. In February this year, an electric vehicle caught fire. Fortunately, rivian's water spray system stopped the spread of the fire.
