Fire-Fighting Measures
Extinguishing media:
Suitable: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam extinguishers.
Unsuitable: Do not use water jets/streams, as it may scatter or spread chemicals.
Specific Hazards: Unusual fire and explosion hazards – lithium iron phosphate
batteries contain flammable liquid electrolyte that may vent, ignite and generate
vapours when subjected to excessive heat.
There are several hazardous products that could be emitted as result of combustion
such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and lithium oxide fumes.
Special Protective Actions for Fire Fighters:
Wear full personal protective equipment including Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus
(SCBA) when combating fire.
Remain upwind and notify those downwind of hazard to evacuate area, as toxic gases
may be evolved in a fire.
