Good, now they have scrap to make new batteries with.
All this is our future, every home having large banks of storage batteries of hopefully fireproof design.

I have to wonder if the three fire extinguishers shown at the 12 second mark would have worked better.

New product, called F500, mixed with water, extinguishes Lithium-Ion battery fires fast. The Pahrump Valley Fire Department just got it a few months ago, and on 17 September 2024 used it to put out 36,000 pounds of lithium-ion batteries that were on fire, as the result of a collision between the Semi carrying them and a semi loaded with 30,000 pounds of new lumber.

This stuff works, I volunteer with the Ny County NV Dept of Emergency Management and support the Pahrump NV FD, saw the demonstration of this stuff and then a month later the FD used it on the battery fire on highway 95 just north of town, near the Nevada Nuclear Test Site.
