How do you Extinguish a Lithium Battery Fire?
Eric Worrall, WattsUpWithThat, Mar 4, 2021
A few weeks ago I asked a fire fighter friend how they extinguish electric vehicle battery fires.
He said “Oh you mean like a Tesla or something? The answer is you can’t. You cordon off the area, and spray a fine mist of water on the fire to try to keep the temperature down until it finishes burning. Takes a few days until it is safe”.…
The fumes from a burning lithium fire are highly toxic, capable of causing death or long term dementia like brain injuries – so you need to keep members of the public at a safe distance. Fire fighters need to wear respirators if they approach the flame.
Is it possible to build a jetpack using downward firing machine guns?

This won't make sense without the previous chapters:
Part 1 — Part 2 — Part 3
Probably won't make sense with them, either.
