someone who figures out how to easily put out a lithium fire is going to make a lot of money.
I have seen a car fire, and they cannot do anything currently.
Someone else is going to make a towtruck with a steel dumpster in the back with a giant claw that grabs the burning car and hauls it up into the dumpster and then the back wall/ramp closes and then drives off with the burning car
(unless somehow the lithium fire is like 9/11 and can melt the steel.)
IF it gets hot enough which jet fuel does
A fire burning, even in a regular building can get hot enough to melt a steel beam over a wooden beam. Heard that from several Firefighters.
Does not have to be a certain type of fire.
Red Adair, Boots & Coots (aka Halliburton) have away but there's gonna be some collateral damage issues involved.
There's actually a way to do it Here.
It’s been known for ages how to put out burning metal fires—the Class D extinguisher (dry powder).
