Chief Wilhelm will share the research that is available conducted by the Firefighter Safety and Research Institute. Battery fires are particularly dangerous because they burn very hot, they can emit toxic byproducts, and they tend to flare up even after it seems like they’ve been extinguished,” says Consumer Reports chief scientific officer James H. Dickerson, a physicist and former administrator at the Department of Energy’s Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Please join Chief Wilhelm for this presentation.
