LI battery power bank fire forces emergency landing only 15 mins into a flight to Hong Kong. Crew and passengers used water and juice to put out the flames. Toxic vapor is apparent in this video, seen throughout the plane cabin. 1. What if they had been halfway over the Pacific Ocean? 2. Why isn't this crew equipped with better LI battery extinguishing gear besides "water and juice"? Recently, Singapore Airlines and its subsidiary Scoot changed their Power bank carriage policy for safe operation of flight. Effective 1st April 2025, Singapore Airlines customers will not be allowed to use portable power banks during a flight. https://lnkd.in/g8ndFcFs ------------------------------------------------- Join EV Safety Inc next Wednesday at Booth#1808 and 3/26 4:15p at the EV Charging Summit in Las Vegas for our Fire Safety Panel "Preparing for Inevitable Lithium Ion Fires: Training, Equipment, and Insurance Liability Best Practices" LIMITED SPOTS REMAINING!

Can a single EV thermal runaway fire event take down your entire facility? Are you equipped to avoid an EV fire scenario with possible mass casualties? Have you been told that lack of local Fire codes for EV charging installations relieves you of liability? (spoiler alert: it doesn't) Are state laws requiring installation of EV chargers in commercial properties taking safety into account? It's 2025, and EV Charging Station installers can't "play dumb" anymore with regard to common sense fire safety precautions. Visit Booth#1808 in Las Vegas next week to find out more.

A 2 year old tragically killed, parents seriously injured after EV battery fire in northern Taiwan. An electric motorcycle at their front door caught fire, trapping them inside their home in Taoyuan City, Saturday. When firefighters arrived, the first floor of the house was on fire and flames were rapidly spreading to neighboring residences on either side. The firefighters located the 28-year-old homeowner, his 24-year-old wife, and their two-year-old son, trapped in a bathroom. All three had lost vital signs. Paramedics applied emergency resuscitation measures and rushed the three unconscious patients to hospital, but the two-year-old was later declared dead. The parents remain in a critical condition. Prayers for the victims and their family. https://lnkd.in/egSuxJBZ

A citywide ban on EV chargers inside parking garages in Rosemont IL after an EV fire wreaked havoc on the Chicago suburb's famous shopping mall. The electric vehicle burst into flames in January 2024 while charging in the garage at the Fashion Outlets of Chicago in Rosemont. Firefighters battled the blaze for hours, and a specialized blanket was needed to extinguish the fire. Since that EV fire, Rosemont Mayor Brad Stephens said the Village of Rosemont has discouraged businesses from installing EV charging stations in parking structures. "Once these EVs catch fire, they're a dickens to deal with," said Stephens. "In the process, the car had to be dragged out of the garage, and then additionally to that, portions of the garage had to be closed down." ------------------------------------------------- Insurers in 2025 are asking commercial property owners for detailed Risk Management Planning around potential EV fires. Every parking facility that charges or allows EV's on-site needs EV fire mitigation equipment to prevent possible catastrophic damage from lithium ion battery fires and decrease property owner liability. The EV Safety, Inc Rapid Response Box contains two 6x8 meter EV fire blankets and should be on every floor, next to the existing fire prevention apparatus for fast Firefighter access. Our FireGuard Parking Barriers are rated to 1400 degrees centigrade. Placed between charging vehicles, they mitigate the horizontal propagation to adjacent vehicles and infrastructure typical of electric vehicle fires, giving First Responders more time to control the scene. Inexpensive and effective, these solutions are part of effective Risk Management Planning. https://lnkd.in/eFuPngz4

China now urging citizens to trade in eBikes for lead-acid battery models. Safety concerns regarding dangerous lithium-ion battery fires have caused the government to institute new safety standards for lithium-ion batteries in e-bikes last year, but there’s also been a major pushback toward AGM batteries for the domestic market. Even major technological leaders in the industry, such as Yadea and NIU, produce many AGM-based e-bikes for the domestic market while exporting primarily lithium-ion battery e-bikes abroad. Traded-in e-bikes will be sent for dismantling and recycling, a move intended to help phase out older electric bikes with safety risks. ------------------------------------------------- Register below for EV Safety, Inc's Lithium Ion Fire Safety Panel at the EV Charging Summit & Expo March 25th in Las Vegas.

Tesla battery explodes after a 4 month long thermal runaway event when a MD home destroyed in a November 2024 fire was being torn down. Demolition crews were working on the Montgomery County home when the car battery caught fire as the vehicle was left in the damaged structure since the November 2024 fire. During the 2024 fire, police said they were called to the single-family home for a heavy fire, with crews encountering intense flames and having to bring in thousands of gallons of water. ------------------------------------------------- If you allow EV's on your commercial property, thermal runaway fires are a real concern. Insurance companies in 2025 are asking for updated EV fire Risk Management Planning. EV Safety, Inc provides inexpensive employee training and equipment to lessen the length and severity of lithium ion battery fires in Parking Facilities, Hotels, Airports, Multi Family Complexes and other commercial properties.

Battery explosion kills Tesla driver and passenger in a tragic high speed crash, also setting a house on fire. Woodridge IL Firefighters saved the home. EV Safety Inc Co-Founder Captain Patrick Durham of Stached Training recaps:

If passengers can’t escape a burning EV, who is liable? Canadian Underwriter Magazine uses increasing examples of EV crash fatalities to speculate on liability with regard to the accessibility of manual door releases in all models. EV accident reports from recent years show passenger egress was an issue in EV crashes involving fires in the U.S. and Korea. “Increased frequency of events whereby power-loss impacts passenger safety makes manufacturer arguments about the rarity of the events more difficult to stand on,” Matthew Owen, a lawyer at Zarek Taylor Grossman Hanrahan says. “This is a problem staring the manufacturers and the safety regulators in the face because it’s not just a one-off.” ------------------------------------------------- Make sure you, your employees and your family are aware of the location of all manual EV door releases in any fleet and personal vehicles you operate. It can be a lifesaving exercise. www.evsafetyproducts.com EV's are the future. Let's move ahead safely. https://lnkd.in/eYJmcBUr
