The first thing these agencies usually do when responding to the scene of a automobile accident and fire is to spray water on things. But, you don't want to dump water on a high voltage battery. Even if you don't spray water on the battery, the crash mangled battery may make some pretty incredible voltages appear at places where they're unexpected, and this can cause problems when rescuing victims.
