Car Ferry Fires

Apparently the toll on the Felicity Ace fire could reach $400 million and fire is being fueled by Lithium Ion batteries.
The Li batteries are the least contributor to fire, plenty of other items to burn as already posted.

Major issue with Li is it cannot be put out, and can burn for days, at temperatures that can cause metals to start burning as well.

You read correctly, metal can combust like paper.

Agreed, and the report was that burning lithium batteries were hampering efforts to extinguish the fire. Just reporting on what was on gCaptain.
