Putting out an industrial Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) fire is a complex and challenging task for firefighters due to the unique nature of lithium-ion battery fires. These systems, often used to store renewable energy or stabilize power grids, can ignite due to thermal runaway—a chain reaction where a battery cell overheats, releasing flammable gases and potentially causing adjacent cells to fail.
