Battery fires have become one of the most challenging and perplexing incidents for the fire service in recent years. With the continued growth in the use and sale of battery-powered devices, the corresponding increase in battery fires warrants a critical conversation about how the fire service can mitigate and respond to battery fire incidents.
The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) will host a webinar on Wednesday, April 10, from 1-3 p.m., Battery Fires: Before, During, and After the Incident. The webinar is an opportunity to hear from subject matter experts from the USFA; the Fire Safety Research Institute; San Diego Fire-Rescue Department; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; and the Environmental Protection Agency. The speakers will present the key concepts to consider when developing community risk reduction and response plans related to lithium-ion battery fires.
