A report from tests made public by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) shows that a cutting extinguisher can safely put out a battery fire in a very short time, with minimal use of water and without the risk of re-ignition.
The report is based on the results on a number of tests carried out in a collaborative project involving several stakeholders, including the CTIF Commission for Extrication and New Technology, and CTIF Sweden, where Tore Eriksson, Tom van Esbroeck & Michel Gentilleau have been part of the reference group. CTIF ´s Yvonne Näsman and Per–Ola Malmquist have been project members on behalf of MSB.se.
