Electric bikes and electric scooters have evolved beyond mere novelties. They now serve as essential modes of transportation in urban areas, on campuses, in apartment complexes, and within municipal fleets. This growth has introduced a risk category that many organizations did not anticipate: lithium-ion battery incidents in small mobility devices. These incidents are not vehicle fires in the traditional sense. Instead, they involve battery failures that occur indoors, often overnight, in...

Electric vehicle adoption continues to accelerate. Fire risk associated with lithium-ion batteries has therefore become an operational issue, not just a technical one. While headlines often focus on suppression, the far greater challenge for most organizations begins after the fire appears to be under control. Containment is not about extinguishing flames alone. It is about managing instability, heat retention, toxic exposure, and delayed failure. An electric vehicle that has burned does not...

Electric vehicles rely on lithium-ion battery systems that store large amounts of energy in compact spaces. While this enables increased range and performance, it also introduces a different risk profile from conventional vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries do not fail like mechanical systems. They fail chemically. When they fail, the consequences are difficult to control. Temperature can escalate quickly. Ignition may not be immediate. Re-ignition may occur hours or days later. Fire behaviour...
