@InvaderGzim Out in the middle of nowhere. I doubt any local fire department had the chemicals necessary to douse a lithium fire.

Smother The Fire
If no extinguisher is available, use a large amount of sand, baking soda, or dry cement to smother and cool the burning battery. Avoid using water or foam, as they may not be effective in stopping the thermal runaway process.
