A Tesla battery fire at one of Queensland’s first large-scale battery storage sites could burn for days, as authorities warn nearby residents to stay indoors to avoid hazardous fumes.

Emergency services were called at Bouldercombe, south of Rockhampton, about 7.45pm on Tuesday.


The fire was contained, but crews were advised by Tesla to allow the fire to burn out, prompting a warning to local residents to stay indoors to avoid the hazardous smoke.


The battery, nicknamed ‘Big Bessie’, is one of 40 lithium Megapack 2.0 units supplied by Tesla on a site privately owned by renewable energy and storage developer Genex. Genex said in a statement that no one was on site at the time of the incident.

Better get used to it. This is the new normal with the so-called 'renewables' infrastructure.

of course

cause before renewables nothing ever burnt down
:D :D :D :D


ya morons ::)

What part of "as authorities warn nearby residents to stay indoors to avoid hazardous fumes" didn't you understand? Lithium fires are highly toxic, very light. I would go to somewhere much safer until the fire is out.

And don't use your air-conditioning. Sounds not so good in Rocky.

is there a point?Have you been living under a rock all your life? Fumes and smoke in general are generally accepted as being bad for you. This is not new. Just a few weeks ago Sydneysiders were warned to stay indoors because of smoke haze covering the city from back burning. Did you cry then too? Blame the trees or the grass?

Smoke from combustible material like wood or grass is unpleasant and is dangerous in large amounts, however the gases released from  inflammable metals are much worse, with the Li battery near the top of the list.

no worse than smoke from burning tyres ... is lee going to argue that we shouldn't use tyres :D :D

Just a heads up

The Frodo Smith tosspot is online under the influence of the latest drugs he’s just scored out of long term unemployed boredom. Ignore/post over the unhinged nutter who clearly has no knowledge about Tesla Battery Pack fire danger.

In fact ... the Dumbarse Dhead is in here just to smear his unhinged spam and troll in another Mod’s Sub Forum.

Dear Lisa,
as a Christian you should be trying to get them some help -

maybe the name and number of their nearest exorcist?

He’s really referencing the smoke 💨 from his latest bong.

I’m not joking ... unfortunately 😩

You want a reference to know that smoke from burning tyres is no good for you? What are you 2 years old?

No; your claim was "no worse than smoke from burning tyres".

So about it guido troll. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Tesla know if you put out their battery fires they can ignite again.

Any other types of fires where they say don't bother trying to put it out let it burn out?

are battery fires worse then death you dumbarse?

Not so.  Emissions from burning Lithium-ion cells
are far more toxic to humans than those from
burning rubber tyres.

At elevated temperature the fluorine content of the
electrolyte in LI-ion cells and, to some extent, other
parts of the battery such as the polyvinylidene
fluoride (PVdF) binder in the electrodes, can form
gases such as hydrogen fluoride HF, phosphorus
pentafluoride (PF5) and phosphoryl fluoride (POF3),
ranging between 20 and 200 mg/Wh of nominal
battery energy capacity.

A Tesla battery pack has a capacity of 95kWh, which
means if fully burned, could release 19g of fluorides
into the atmosphere.  Which is why firemen must wear
SCBA when attacking a Li-ion fire.

A lethal concentration of atmospheric hydrogen
fluoride is 30 ppm, whilst that released from a
burning vehicle is 170 ppm/10 mins.

The release of hydrogen fluoride from a Li-ion battery
fire can therefore be a severe risk and an even
greater risk in confined or semi-confined spaces.

Burning tyres also release significant amounts of toxic
pollutants into the air. These pollutants include sulphur
dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon
monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
and particulate matter (PM), including fine particles
known as PM2.5 (0.0025mm dia). 

But none are immediate killers.

dead is dead. You can argue that one makes you more dead if you like ::)

Actually Baron - The serious issue has been making global news. It’s also behind why these cars are so expensive to INSURE.

COULD WE ALL IGNORE THE DUMBARSE FRODO BLOWFLY? IT ONLY TURNS UP TO ABUSE/TROLL/HIJACK TOPICS ALL ACROSS OZPOL WITH ITS SINGLE DRUG FRIED BRAIN CELL.
