[RE-wrenches] Known residential/commercial fires from LI batteries

[Dan Fink]

  Yes, APS had lithium-ion storage battery fires in 2012 and 2019. South
Korea had 20(!) such fires in the last 2 years, also fires in Australia and
Europe. These were utility scale. I think SF CA had one also, residential
scale. I'd be interested in knowing about any more residential incidents
for my upcoming safety classes for firefighters and AHJs. The flourine gas
generated is particularly nasty.
