Lithium-ion battery fires are becoming a major challenge for emergency responders across Europe. Their toxicity, rapid escalation, and complex suppression requirements call for new operational approaches and stronger collaboration between research, industry, and practitioners.

If you missed the live session, you can now watch the full recording and explore how European experts are advancing knowledge and solutions in this critical area.

 

How can emergency responders better anticipate, contain, and suppress the growing risks posed by lithium-ion battery fires?

Explore how cutting-edge research, large-scale fire trials, and emerging firefighting technologies are reshaping operational strategies for dealing with battery-related incidents, from electric vehicles to energy storage systems and industrial applications. This session brought together research organisations, technology providers, and practitioners to share operational feedback, scientific insights, and future directions for managing battery fires safely and effectively.

 

The last two DIREKTION webinars focusing respectively on “Emergency Response for Battery Fires” and "Drones in Emergency Response: The Air Traffic Management Issue" have successfully been held with 90+ live participants to each webinar.

The recordings of the webinars are now available, and we encourage you to promote them within your network to maximize the impact and visibility.
