So does the battery itself, after this chain reaction that you're describing, does the battery itself actually become like a little fireball? Is that what happened?

I've seen surveillance footage of lithium ion battery fires, so I would describe it as this.

You know the kids with sparklers they have on July 1st, and they wave them around and make the fancy patterns and stuff.

So it looks like either it would look like a sparkler, or if you see a welder with a stick weld, all that, as they're doing the welding and you get the sparks flying off of the the stick it looks the same and what's really interesting on the fire side of things is we're very big on finding the origin of the fire and for us lithium-ion battery is really unique because it's acting like that that stick welder or that sparkler those little embers that come off of it are can start fires in other locations.
