About Energy storage fire fighting

About Energy storage fire fighting

Learn about critical size-up and tactical considerations like fire growth rate, thermal runaway, explosion hazard, confirmation of battery involvement and PPE.

The impact of lithium-ion battery involvement on fire growth rate suggests that when firefighters respond to these incidents, they should consider: Rapid fire growth; Explosion hazards;.

There are no reliable visual, thermal imaging or portable gas meter indicators to confirm battery involvement in a room and contents fire.

Lithium-ion batteries may go into thermal runaway in the absence of active fire. Thermal runaway can be recognized as distinct white or gray.

This begins the instant batteries undergo thermal runaway and release gas without burning. The timing and severity of a battery gas explosion is unpredictable. Firefighters are at greatest.
