In the event of a battery fire
It is important to act quickly if a battery catches fire.
- Rescue and warn people that there is a fire.
- Only attempt to extinguish the fire if you can do so without endangering yourself. Do not risk inhaling the gases produced when batteries burn or burn yourself on the battery. Go outside and close the door if there is heavy smoke.
- Call 112
Report the incident in the University's incident management system (IA system).
