How do lithium-ion battery fires start?

Lithium-ion battery fires can start for several reasons, including physical damage (e.g., a penetrated, crushed, or water-exposed battery), electrical damage (e.g., overcharging or using charging equipment not designed for the battery), exposure to extreme temperatures, and product defects.

Over the past two days, Bullhead Fire had the opportunity to host instructors from Phoenix Children’s Hospital for hands-on pediatric trauma and drowning response training.

Our crews worked through realistic, live scenarios using high-fidelity simulation mannequins and a simulation ambulance. These scenarios gave our personnel the opportunity to sharpen their pediatric assessment, treatment, decision-making, and teamwork skills in a realistic environment.

A huge thank you to the instructors from Phoenix Children’s Hospital for making the trip to Bullhead City and sharing their knowledge and expertise with our crews!

Training like this helps ensure our personnel are prepared to provide the highest level of care to our youngest patients when every second counts.
