LITHIUM-ION BATTERY FIRES: UNDERSTANDING A MODERN FIRE IN A TACTICAL SENSE
A class developed from a collective group of Firefighters and Fire Officers who battle these fires on the daily Where we break down the ins and out of these fires in real-time as each day, we are collecting new and vital Intel. The topic of Lithium-ion battery fires is, unfortunately, being discussed and studied in a reactive form.
Understandably this job is constantly changing with the times; staying up to date not only with current trends but more so on how the trends affect our tactics will ultimately allow us to be
proactive, rather than reactive, the next time the fire meets us at the door.
