Let's talk about a hot topic in emergency services: thermal runaway on electric scooters. What concerns you most when dealing with lithium-ion battery fires in these vehicles? Is it the risk of electric shock, the intense heat and rapid fire spread, or perhaps the toxic fumes…
Are You Prepared for the Risks of Lithium-Ion Technology in the workplace? Join us August 5th, 9am to 1pm at the University of Toronto for the Lithium-Ion Battery Safety & Regulatory Symposium, a FREE, expert-led event focused on the real-world risks and regulations shaping how…
We’ve had an incredible response to the Clean Core Research Lithium-Ion Battery Safety & Regulatory Symposium, far beyond what we expected. Due to the surge in registrations, we’ve moved to a larger lecture hall at the @UofT. It’s more than just a bigger space, it’s the very…
Fire blankets are a useful tool in EV fire response, if they’re quality-tested, used by trained crews, and part of a tactical containment strategy. EVFire #BatteryFire #EVSafety #FireBlanket #LithiumIon #ThermalRunaway #Firefighter #FireTactics linkedin.com/posts/randy-na…
Lithium-Ion Battery Safety & Regulatory Symposium August 5, 2025 | 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM @UofT Clean Core Research (CCR), a Canadian not-for-profit organization, invites you to a data-driven symposium focused on lithium-ion battery safety, emergency response, and regulatory…
Kicking off Canada celebrations across the city earlier today. It’s great to see everyone this Canada Day proudly celebrating our shared heritage, values, and love for this incredible country. Make sure to stop by Chinguacousy Park until 10 pm for a day packed with fun, food,…
🚨 BREAKING: The Idaho firefighter who underwent emergency surgery and was “fighting for his life” last night has just been UPGRADED to stable condition FANTASTIC news! Keep praying! 🙏🏻
What in the actual faq is going on in this world!? My thoughts and prayers to my brothers and sisters in Idaho @IAFFofficial.
FIREFIGHTERS DOWN IN IDAHO. Initial unconfirmed reports indicate Firefighters were lured to a fire and ambushed with gunfire. KTIYP’s Initial Radio Traffic via media. 🙏
Batteries are critical to smooth out the power fluctuations from AI training and grid voltage drops, as even a small change in power causes AI training to fail
You cannot train AGI without batteries. China knows this. Anybody who’s paying attention knows this. If we cannot make batteries — we lose.
Battery Safety Tips in Hot Weather 1. Avoid Charging in Direct Sunlight Charging generates heat, and sunlight increases thermal stress. - Park or charge in shade or indoors. - Use EV preconditioning if available, or charge early morning/evening. 2. Don’t Leave Batteries in…
A New Chapter in Safety Innovation: Launching Clean Core Research Due to the overwhelming demand for the work we began at @CESAT_Official, I’m proud to officially launch Clean Core Research, a federally incorporated, non-profit organization dedicated to expanding our efforts in…
Everyone loves electricity, until you try to build the thing that actually makes or stores it. We all plug in our phones, use A/C, charge our EVs, run our tools, power our devices, no one questions where the power comes from. But suggest putting up a wind turbine or an energy…
The recent @NFPA and @FSRI_org notice about potential risks when using fire blankets during EV fires is being misinterpreted by many in the fire service. Let's be clear, this is not new information for those actively working these scenes. The idea that tools can introduce risk if…
Congratulations to @BramptonFireES District Chief Aaron Trigiani on receiving a Public Heroes Award from @IDIGTA! 🏅 Your leadership, dedication, and service to #Brampton make a lasting impact. Well deserved! @BPFFA1068 #PH2025
EV Fire Blankets: A Practical Tool, Not a Problem There has been a lot of information circulating about using fire blankets on electric vehicle (EV) fires. Recent articles mention the potential risk of gas buildup and possible explosions under the blanket. This is not new…
I'm honoured to share that I’ve been appointed as a Principal Member to four @NFPA Technical Committees, where I’ll be contributing data and insight directly from the research and validation work we conduct at @CESAT_Official. As a non-profit research organization, CESAT…
Canadian CBRNE & Robotics Summit 2025 Highlight Video! Hosted by OHMRA April 7-8 in Kitchener, ON. First responders, hazmat teams & robotics innovators united for elite training & networking. Watch now: OHMRA.ca/summit #OHMRASummit #CBRNE #Robotics #FirstResponders
According to the chiefs and firefighters we surveyed at @ONFireChiefs Conference 2 weeks ago, the biggest concern is by far the toxicity of the event.
First Responder Safety: Critical Tactics for Extricating the Tesla Model Y with 4680 Structural Battery Pack The Tesla Model Y’s 4680 structural battery pack replaces the traditional floor pan, with seats bolted directly to the pack. This integration means that if the battery…
URGENT FIREFIGHTER SAFETY ALERT: Stop Piercing Lithium-Ion Battery Packs! A recent video shows a firefighter hammering a piercing nozzle into an EV battery pack, only to be engulfed in flames and toxic gases. This tactic is extremely dangerous and must stop. Whether using a…
