Chief Clyde Wilhelm will present information on the challenges facing the fire service, including urban, suburban and rural fire departments. Suppressing lithium batteries requires some different strategic thinking and tactical steps. Chief Wilhelm will share the research that is available from the Firefighter Safety and Research Institute. According to Consumer Reports Chief Scientific Officer James H. Dickerson, a physicist and former administrator at the Department of Energy’s Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory, “battery fires are particularly dangerous because they burn very hot, they can emit toxic byproducts, and they tend to flare up even after it seems like they’ve been extinguished.”
