Today I've talked to Roeland Bisschop, Project Manager in RISE, about his first-hand experience with battery fires. Roeland explained to me how do battery fires look from a scientific perspective, and how my perspective was kind of skewed by viral online videos. I've learnt a lot about fire propagation and products, as well as how to deal with fires that occured. This was a great talk, and I'm sure it will benefit many Fire Safety Engineers out there, who have to deal with this major issue with the limited knowledge we got today.This is a part of two-episode miniseries, and in part II next week I will talk a bit about my experiences in modelling the consequences of rapidly growing fires in car parks. I hope you enjoy both episodes!--- LinkedIn discussion thread---https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6810798545810051072--- Usefull links ---The review on electric vehicle fires:https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10694-019-00944-3Find Roeland at:https://www.ri.se/en/person/roeland-bisschophttps://twitter.com/b_roelandFull scale battery fire experiments:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHZtne5yYBgToxicity of battery fires:http://ri.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2%3A1522149&dswid=348Handling battery fires: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10694-020-01038-1
