Yesterday, Anne Arundel County Professional Fire Fighters, IAFF Local 1563, responded to a fatal motor vehicle collision involving an electric vehicle fire in Laurel, near Laurel Fort Meade Road and northbound Route 295.

Professional fire fighters from Prince George’s County, Howard County, Fort Meade, and BWI assisted with the incident.

Electric vehicle fires present unique and serious hazards to firefighters, including intense heat, toxic gases, and the potential for battery reignition.

During the incident, an Anne Arundel County Professional Fire Fighter was injured and transported to a local hospital. The firefighter was later released with non-life-threatening injuries.

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this tragic incident.
