LifeSafe Technologies: The Game-Changing Fire Extinguisher Tackling Lithium-Ion Battery Fires
LifeSafe Technologies Leads the Fight Against Rising Lithium-Ion Battery Fires
With lithium-ion battery fires becoming an increasing concern, firefighters in Washington County, Wisconsin, recently tested a groundbreaking new suppressant designed to tackle these dangerous and persistent fires. This new fire suppression technology, known as Lithium Thermal Runaway Fluid (TRF), is manufactured in the UK by LifeSafe Technologies and is also distributed in the U.S. through Fire Suppression Solutions in Slinger, Wisconsin.
Addressing a Growing Threat
Lithium-ion batteries power everything from smartphones and children's toys to electric vehicles, making them an essential part of modern life. However, these batteries also pose a significant fire risk, particularly when damaged or charged incorrectly. Deputy Chief Chuck Beistle of the Washington County Fire Department noted that these fires are not only becoming more frequent but are also particularly challenging to extinguish.
“Their charger might have been broken, a wire might’ve been cut,” Beistle explained. “They think they can order any kind of charger, and it ends up starting their product on fire.”
Unlike traditional extinguishers, which may not be effective against lithium-ion battery fires, LifeSafe’s TRF spray provides a specialized solution that requires less water and works more efficiently to prevent battery fires from reigniting.
A Revolutionary Solution for Home and Professional Use
At the recent demonstration, Washington County firefighters used the TRF spray to successfully extinguish a battery flame, a tire fire, and a simulated forest fire involving hay. The product’s versatility extends beyond emergency services—it can also be purchased for home use, providing consumers with an accessible tool to combat lithium-ion battery fires before they spread.
Fire safety experts continue to stress that prevention is key. They recommend always using manufacturer-approved chargers, avoiding cheap off-brand replacements, and ensuring that chargers are kept in visible areas and not left plugged in overnight.
