- it is WELL KNOWN that LITHIUM-ION batteries are a DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD especially if the ambient temperature is GREATER than 40 degrees Celsius and/or if the individual power cells are RUPTURED or DAMAGED
- also, lithium-ion battery fires are NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT to PUT OUT due to their THERMAL RUNAWAY and are VERY TOXIC to humans
- INTELLIGENT fire fighters will NOT RISK themselves to these type of fires so that it is VERY UNLIKELY that they will SUPPRESS the fire but will LET IT BURN OUT
