REXBURG — Firefighters with the Madison and Idaho Falls Fire Departments, along with deputies from the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, watched Wednesday as a pack of lithium-ion battery cells burst into flames.

The demonstration was part of a three-day training hosted by Grand Teton Energy Systems in Rexburg.

Brad Hill, the company’s logistics manager overseeing the training, tells EastIdahoNews.com the purpose of the demonstration is to show authorities what happens when a battery explodes so they’re better prepared to respond to an emergency.

“The mass amount of batteries in people’s houses … can make the fire a lot worse,” Hill says.

Hill and his team first showed officials how an individual battery cell reacts to flames. The explosion of the pack of cells had the most intense reaction, which you can watch in the video above.
