PDF The report, based on 4 large-scale tests sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, includes considerations for response to fires that include energy storage systems (ESS) using lithium-ion battery technology. The report captures results from a baseline test and 3 tests using a mock-up of a residential lithium-ion battery ESS
Failure of the battery is often accompanied by the release of toxic gas, fire, jet flames, and explosion hazards, which present unique exposures to workers and emergency response personnel. LIB fires
In April 2019, an unexpected explosion of batteries on fire in an Arizona energy storage facility injured eight firefighters. More than a year before that fire, FEMA awarded a Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S), Research and Development (R&D) grant to the University of Texas at Austin to address firefighter concerns about safety when

When a battery energy storage system (BESS) has a multilayered approach to safety, the thermal runaway, fire, and explosion hazards can be mitigated. Successful implementation of this approach requires cooperation, collaboration, and education across all stakeholder groups to break down these preconceived notions.
A battery is a device that can store energy in a chemical form and convert it into electrical energy when needed. There are two fundamental types of chemical storage batteries: (1) The rechargeable, or secondary cell. (2) The nonrechargeable, or primary cell. They both discharge energy in a similar fashion, but only one of them permits multiple
