When large 3s+ 3500 mah+ lipos catch fire. They can shoot flames 1-2 meters.
A shovel and bucket of sand or salt will smoother lithium fire safely, stand up wind! Don't use water on battery until lithium fire dies down. I have a large pottery crock to charge big lipos in.. I always have sand or salt and a shovel in my trunk, good for winter driving too.
I found a video on YouTube which showed a LiPo fire after a crash and no-one had a fire extinquisher so it burnt up... one guy ran up with a pop bottle but didn't help.
I am amazed at the frequent lack of basic safety equipt, at flying fields or anywhere planes are flying.

I am sure our Canadian version (MAAC) does (?)
