5. FIRE – FIGHTING MEASURES
A. Extinguishing Media:
► Copious amounts of water is an effective extinguishing medium for
lithium batteries, as long as batteries are not yet venting or exploding.
► Lith-X (Class D extinguishing media) is effective on fires involving only a few lithium
batteries.
► Dry chemical type extinguishers have only limited extinguishing potential.
B. Fire Fighting Procedures:
► Use a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus if batteries
are involved in a fire.
► Full protective clothing is necessary.
► During water application caution is advised as burning pieces of lithium
may be ejected from the fire.
