Well, no.

Lithium battery fires are, if I read the article correctly, VERY difficult to extinguish. AND, it appears that special training and materials are required to do so.

Extinguishing petroleum fires is less difficult, and ALL fire departments are schooled in fighting them.

A long continuous stream of water applied to the case of the battery is the most effective way to reduce the temperature within the battery and limit thermal runaway. Once the battery is completely cooled down, the fire is down.
