Recording & Summary MBF Webinar - FSRI research overview on lithium-ion battery fire and explosion hazards in residential and transportation settings

This webinar provided a detailed overview of current research into lithium-ion battery fire and explosion hazards in residential, transportation, and electric vehicle settings. It brought together experimental findings from the UL Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI) to better understand how lithium-ion battery incidents develop, how they differ from conventional fires, and what implications they have for fire safety engineering, emergency response, and future battery integration in confined environments.

The findings highlight the need for careful engineering, ventilation design, fire protection strategies, and emergency planning when integrating lithium-ion batteries into enclosed or hard-to-evacuate environments such as ships and public transport systems
