       @stux Note in the article in this post (shout out to @universalhub for doing such a great job covering things on the ground here in Boston!) they mention the hybrid car was harder to put out when it caught on fire in the tunnel.  Wonder why...

       @stux @benfrog @universalhub They need a special type of fire extinguisher to put out reactive metal (lithium, potassium, sodium, etc) fires

       @stux I'm not really sure what good the water is supposed to serve. Lithium fires are not put out by water and thermal runaway is a self-sustaining reaction. In working on cell phones, we were taught to smother the fire with sand. But they didn't actually give us enough sand to do it.
