Honored to be in July's @fireengineering magazine with @stachedtraining be sure to check out this great article. We will be talking about it this week at The Continuing Challenge #Hazmat conference in Sacramento. @CDPfaff
Highway fires are evolving. From lithium-ion to CNG, today’s semitrailer hazards are changing the way firefighters must respond.

🚨#BREAKING: Evacuation orders have been issued after a lithium battery plant caught fire releasing hazardous toxins into the air
📌#MossLanding | #Californa
Currently, numerous emergency crews are on the scene of a massive fire broke out at the Moss Landing Power Plant's lithium battery storage facility in California. Evacuation orders have been issued, and residents in the vicinity are advised to shelter in place immediately due to hazardous toxins being released into the air. Authorities are urging people to follow these safety measures Seal all doors and windows: Use tape or damp towels to cover gaps and prevent smoke ingress. Turn off ventilation systems: Disable fans, heaters, and air conditioners to avoid drawing in outside air. This incident marks at least the fourth occurrence of battery-related emergencies at the Moss Landing facility this is still developing.

Quick ID of the fuel is critical for first responder safety. All responders need to be aware of the potential alternative fueled vehicles in their area and be aware that they're may be even more. Visual cues such as the fuel placard need to be identified early. @stachedtraining

It is critically important for responders to read the work that @LACOFD conducted in the wake of Firefighter Andrew Pontious death. Less than 2 weeks ago @stachedtraining released a video on these hazards. youtu.be/d86VkX6HPKc?si=Dv_J…
ALL responders need to be aware of this risk.

The dangers of lithium-ion batteries. I talked to expert @stachedtraining about this and much more.

All responders need to know that this technology is not going away. We will continue to see batteries placed in more and more devices. It's it a hazard, yes, but so are traditional fuels. Adapt to the risk and prepare for the future. #LithiumIonBattery

When we tell you that unregulated, illegal lithium-ion batteries are a hazard, WE MEAN IT. 🚲 If possible, store it outside. 🔌 Never charge devices or lithium-ion batteries overnight or unattended. 🪟Never leave devices or lithium-ion batteries by exits. on.nyc.gov/2HnpaGf
