The blaze not only damaged the surrounding structure but also disturbed asbestos-containing materials (ACM), posing an immediate health and safety risk. Our team at Revolve Asbestos Solutions was called in to perform an emergency makesafe, ensuring the site was secure and compliant with New Zealand regulations.

The Challenge: Managing Asbestos in an Emergency Fire Scenario

Electric vehicle fires are notoriously intense due to lithium-ion battery combustion, and this incident was no exception. The arson attack left behind a dangerous mix of fire-damaged debris and disturbed asbestos, requiring immediate action. Key challenges included:

• Rapid Response: Containing the site to prevent asbestos fiber release into the air.
• Specialised Expertise: Safely handling asbestos in a high-risk, fire-damaged environment.
• Compliance: Adhering to WorkSafe NZ guidelines under tight time constraints.

Our team acted swiftly, deploying advanced containment techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to mitigate risks and protect the surrounding community.
