Aircraft
Scenario: Aircraft Battery Fire
Imagine a scenario where an aircraft is in the middle of a long-haul flight and suddenly encounters a critical situation—an unexpected battery fire on board. This incident poses a significant challenge as there are over 300 passengers on the plane. The fire is either under a seat where it can quickly spread and endanger nearby passengers, or in the overhead storage compartment, potentially causing damage to the aircraft's vital systems. In such a scenario, prompt and effective actions are crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of all passengers and crew members, while also minimizing any potential damage to the aircraft.
Challenge:
A common extinguisher will not be effective in extinguishing a fire involving lithium-ion batteries, as they do not require oxygen to burn. Additionally, if the fire is located under a seat or in a hard-to-reach area, flipping the extinguisher upside down will not work. It is important to note that submerging the burning equipment in water can create hydrogen peroxide, which poses an additional potential danger.
Implementation:
Our LIONLABS ® XBAG, crafted with precision and compliance with stringent safety standards, is strategically placed in key areas of the aircraft. Besides an internal risk assessment, no additional certifications are required to onboard the XBAG. Once your internal manuals are updated and the crew is trained, you are all set to go.
