Are you prepared?

Facilities that deal with hybrid and electric vehicles typically aren't trained or equipped to deal with the unique hazards posed by fires involving Lithium-ion batteries.

Conventional methods don't work

Conventional extinguishing agents are innefective against fires involving metals such as lithium.  In fact, spraying water on such a fire can actually make it worse.

Unsafe at any charge?

Lithium-ion batteries like the ones found in hybrid and electric vehicles are capable of ignition and subsequent explosion due to overheating caused by shorting, rapid discharge or overcharging.
