This video shows a simulated ignition of a vapour cloud explosion, this was done to represent a lithium-ion battery the size of a small e-bike. Test was a synthetic mixture of CO, CO2, hydrogen etc representing the vapour cloud released pre-ignition from lithium-ion batteries

BAD CAR FIRE nearly claims two lives! (ORIGINAL) youtu.be/9M5Ij8mh43E via YouTube For those that think it is fun to play with fire, watch and learn just how quick it can go wrong. Almost took his own life and his 3 friends.

Today we launch our #ChargeSafe⚡️ campaign to help Londoners use e-bikes and e-scooters safely and spot risks. Fires involving lithium batteries are the fastest growing fire risk in London 🔋🔥 ➡️Find out more and how to protect yourself and others: orlo.uk/HpqgS

Lithium ion battery fires are becoming a daily event. An E bike holds an average of 40 batteries at 36V. A fully electric car can have 7140 batteries at 400V. The devastation caused is huge. We need real safety legislation put in place now before multiple lives are lost.

Hi all Could I please ask you to share this tweet which includes a form to a #research study I am conducting. It focuses on the ‘Psychology of Rescue’ And how the UK fire and rescue service can impact the chances of someone getting PTSD. forms.gle/kq7irGPTEU9Ji8…

Statistics show that at this time, electric cars are less likely to have a fire than fosil fuel cars. This I agree with. However, the destruction caused by an EV fire and risk to lives, property, or anything at all in the immediate area is far greater. That can not be denied.

Only 48 hours until I arrive in Norway with @FireWise_UK for electric vehicle burns, some hands on training and to meet up with vehicle fire investigators from all corners of the globe. Busy week coming up.

Very early 2am start to get to Norway. Followed by a great day of ICE vehicle and hybrid vehicle burns, Met some great delegates from Germany, Norway, India for a start. Really looking forward to a full electric burn tomorrow and getting to know the international investigators.

The future of vehicle fire investigation is here with 3D imaging. I need more practice with the fine tuning, I had a great teacher today with Craig Rayner he has multiple programs to help all fire and rescue service in multiple digital applications and is highly recommended.

On Sunday a Ford Mustang Mach-E caught fire in Gdańsk, Poland. At the time of the incident the vehicle was parked in a car parking space on a petrol station forecourt, it is unknown what caused thermal runaway to take place, however the vehicle was not on charge at the time.

So I have now started a private vehicle fire investigation company called Rotae (Latin for wheels) with the Twitter name RotaeVFI. Looking for all my Fire friends on here to drop me a follow. Website is in its way. Thanks in advance.

So we now have a tested national alert system, so when the 999 systems went down today and lives were at risk. Why wasn’t it used? Surely this was its purpose. Am I wrong?
