wow, what a picture of the fire. I was a firefighter for 30 years and when I saw that picture I could smell the fire smell. guess it's true about taking the fire out of the horse etc.
Just wondering is a lithium fire like a alinumin fire ?
scary?
Lithium batteries burn very intensely, like magnesium. A car fire in a Tesla or other EV can take 2000 gallons of water or more to extinguish. Nearly all of the car fires I have put out in my career are knocked down with 100 gallons or less.
