RT @HazmatandRescue: Wrapping up this power station at the PHRT International Headquarters with the box that holds the #LithiumIonBattery A….

Here’s an article I co-authored with Chris Pfaff from @HazmatandRescue, featured in this month’s Fire Engineering. Lithium-ion batteries, compressed gases, and alternative fuels are flooding our highways: most of them hidden behind unmarked trailers. 👉 How placards (or the.

The Morning Midas is gone. Burned, abandoned, and now resting 16,000 feet below the Pacific. Over 3,000 vehicles onboard. A fire that started on a deck carrying EVs. And no official investigation planned. So… were electric vehicles to blame?. 🎥 Watch the full breakdown:

I'll be discussing the Challenges of Large-Scale Lithium-Ion Battery Incidents at 1230 today in Ballroom 2. It's great to be back in Baltimore!

Most labs try to prevent battery failure. This one? They built an ARC reactor to make it happen on purpose. I visited Electric Goddess in Los Angeles to see how they’re using controlled battery failure to make the technology safer for everyone. ➡️

There’s been a lot of important discussion lately about the risks of using fire blankets on EV fires. I won’t pretend I had all the answers, but this clip from a video I posted two years ago touched on a lot of the same concerns we’re hearing now. ▶️ Watch the moment here:.

Most people drop off their old batteries, paint, and chemicals and never think about it again. But I visited one of the best hazardous waste facilities in the country—and what I saw was impressive. SafeChem, part of Kent County Recycling & Waste, Michigan doesn’t just meet the.

EV fire blankets might be putting firefighters at risk. FSRI and NFPA just issued a warning after real-world testing showed a delayed deflagration—after the fire looked like it was out. I’ve taught this topic for years, but I missed one key detail… and it’s a big one. 📷 Watch

A box truck explodes in a quiet Illinois neighborhood and the culprit? A leaking propane tank inside. In my latest video, I break down what happened in Addison, IL, and why transporting propane the wrong way is way more dangerous than people realize. I’ll walk you through real

A fire broke out on the third floor of the parking garage at Jacksonville International Airport, spreading to over 50 vehicles and leading to a partial structural collapse. Initial Tesla rumors? Debunked. But the fire behavior suggests this may not have been a typical gas car

The “Chromebook Challenge” is NOT a harmless prank. Students are shoving pencils, push pins, and even scissors into USB ports causing fires, evacuations, and criminal charges. This week alone:.🚒 Schools evacuated.🚑 Student hospitalized.👮 Felony charges filed. Lithium-ion

Just got back from two weeks in Northbrook, Illinois with the Fire Safety Research Institute. We burned five electric vehicles to study how fire blankets and suppression tactics affect fire behavior. Video coming should be out in the next few weeks. For now, check out the FSRI.
