From my local newspaper:
"...Firefighters found a hybrid Jeep 4XE hybrid smoking inside a garage. When crews put water on the vehicle, the battery caused a small explosion, blowing the garage door off its track. The door flew 30 feet..."
 
The, "2018_LEAF-first-responders-guide" PDF is informative.
I don't think most firefighters would know what to do unless all EV's have a common procedure for disconnecting the traction battery.
