Abstract
A fire suppression trailer for use with electric vehicles includes a floorless enclosure having an articulating axle for movement over a burning vehicle which can be lowered to the ground. This enables a vehicle fire to be easily contained therein preventing further damage to adjacent vehicle or buildings. The trailer further includes a longitudinal door allowing viewing and nitrogen extinguishers to be used on the fire. A storage area for storing a fire blanket is configured above the trailer wheels and can be deployed over the wheel to prevent damage during the fire.
