If these batteries are exposed to Oxygen (Air) or water dangerous fires and explosions can happen quickly. We had our share of incidents and special training and firefighting/first responder protocols. These fires cannot be put out by normal water or home fire extinguisher methods .. educate yourself and stay alert to any danger signs such as bulging batteries, corrosion smoke, sparks or flames and learn how to isolate the area or item and call 911 to report and request help.
