6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Battery fire fighting”

Can a lithium ion battery fire be prevented?

Lithium-ion battery fires are typically caused by thermal runaway, where internal temperatures rise uncontrollably. Lithium-ion battery fires can be prevented through careful handling, proper storage and regular monitoring. Fire extinguishers explicitly designed for lithium-ion battery fires are the best to use.

How does lithium ion battery fire control work?

As lithium-ion battery fires create their own oxygen during thermal runaway, they are very difficult for fire and rescue services to deal with. Lithium-ion battery fire control is normally only achieved by using copious amounts of water to cool battery cells.

What should a firefighter do after a lithium-ion battery fire?

Familiarity with these unique designs is essential for swift and effective response. Even after extinguishing a lithium-ion battery fire, there is a risk of reignition. Firefighters should implement thorough post-fire assessments and continued monitoring to prevent rekindling, including during post-incident transport and placement.

What is a lithium ion battery fire?

Lithium-ion battery fires are classified as Class B fires, which involve flammable liquids. The batteries contain liquid electrolytes that provide a conductive pathway, hence the Class B classification. To extinguish a lithium-ion battery fire, use a standard ABC or dry chemical fire extinguisher.

How are lithium-ion battery fires controlled and extinguished?

In the case of fires involving large arrays of lithium-ion battery cells, like those used in electric vehicles, lithium-ion battery fires are normally only controlled and extinguished when the fire and rescue service deliver a large amount of water to the burning materials for a significant amount of time.

How can a battery fire be managed?

Here's how such fires can be managed: Evacuate the Area: Immediately evacuate everyone from the area where the battery fire has occurred. Use Fire Extinguishers: Fire extinguishers explicitly designed for lithium-ion battery fires are the best to use. Class D or Class B (carbon dioxide) can also be used but are less effective.
