If a Lithium-Ion Battery Caught Fire in Your Facility… Would You Know What to Do?
Thermal runaway fires are becoming more frequent—and more dangerous. Whether you work in a fire protection service role or support safety across industrial, commercial, or residential spaces, this session will equip you with practical, field-tested insights to help your team prepare for lithium-ion battery emergencies.
This webinar will walk you through the real risks—and how you can stay ahead of the danger. You’ll gain clarity on where vulnerabilities exist, what response tools are essential, and how to be ready in a rapidly evolving fire risk landscape.
Why Lithium-Ion Battery Fires Are Different
Why Lithium-Ion Battery Fires Are Different
Lithium-ion battery fires don’t behave like traditional fires. Instead of burning once and going out, they can enter a self-sustaining chemical reaction called thermal runaway. This reaction generates extreme heat, toxic gases, and has the potential for delayed re-ignition—even after the initial flames appear to be suppressed. Standard extinguishers or suppression methods are often ineffective.
These fires can have:
Self-Sustaining Reaction: Internal faults, cell damage, or electrical failures can trigger a chain reaction that feeds on itself, creating intense heat.
Delayed Reignition: Even after a fire appears controlled, damaged batteries can reignite hours, days, or weeks later without warning.
High Temps & Toxic Byproducts: Lithium-ion fires burn hot and release hazardous gases, making them very dangerous for people and facilities.
This webinar will show you how to prepare for the specific risks of lithium-ion thermal runaway events—not just generic fire safety.
This Webinar Will Help You:
√ Understand the difference between traditional fires and lithium-ion thermal runaway
√ Learn about common triggers: impact, electrical faults, cell degradation, and more
√ See what EV, transport, and storage-related fires have in common—and how they differ
√ Develop practical steps you can use for containment, suppression, and on-site readiness
√ Get a better understanding of the tools that professionals are using today to mitigate lithium-ion fire risk
√ Better talk with your team about thermal runaway safety
