Considerations for Fire Service Response to Residential Energy Storage
The report is a culmination of a two-year research project examining the characteristics of fires resulting from the overheating of lithium-ion battery energy storage
Understanding NFPA 855: Fire Protection for Energy Storage
The standard recommends that energy storage systems be equipped with emergency disconnect systems that allow for safe shutdown in the event of an emergency. In
IAFC Response to ESS Fires
Firefighters must wear full personal protective equipment, including SCBA with face-piece. If identified in pre-incident plan, shut off the unit/system by operating any visible disconnects or
Energy Storage System
A stationary energy storage system is typically used to provide electrical power and includes associated fire protection, explosion mitigation, ventilation and/or exhaust systems.
National Fire Protection Association BESS Fact Sheet
ESS are usually comprised of batteries that are housed in a protective metal or plastic casing within larger cabinets. These layers of protection help prevent damage to the system but can
