If Your Lithium-Ion Battery Fails and Catches Fire
Leave the area immediately then call 9-1-1. If you can’t get outside, call 9-1-1 and tell the fire department you can’t get outside.
Do not try to put the fire out yourself: Lithium-ion battery fires spread quickly, aggressively, and can become explosive or reignite. Water may not prevent a battery from burning and fire extinguishers do not work on lithium-ion battery fires. The safest decision you can make is leave the area immediately and call 9-1-1.
