See the rescue service practice putting out car fires - with a new method

A car fire releases many toxic substances that are bad for the environment and humans, and usually extinguishing water is used.

- We have looked at the environment and with extinguishing water, there are toxins that can flow into our stormwater, says David Nilsson.

It can be used five times before it must be discarded.
