SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
In case of fire where lithium batteries are present, apply a smothering agent such as METL-X, sand, dry ground dolomite, or soda
ash, or flood the area with water. A smothering agent will extinguish burning lithium batteries. Water may not extinguish burning
batteries but will cool the adjacent batteries and control the spread of fire. Burning batteries will burn themselves out. Virtually all
fires involving lithium batteries can be controlled with water. When water is used, however, hydrogen gas may evolve. In a confined
space, hydrogen gas can form an explosive mixture. In this situation, smothering agents are recommended.
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Burning lithium-iron disulfide batteries produce hydrogen sulfide gas,
sulfur dioxide gas, toxic and corrosive lithium hydroxide fumes.
