A Li Ion battery goes into thermal runaway and the only way to douse it is to
take away the heat. It supplies it's own oxygen to the fire (at least in the
case of LiCoO2).
There are hundreds of videos on you tube of people puncturing these cells or
the li Pol cells and they immediately go up in flames.
I don't believe that a hybrid is any more susceptible that an ICE or an EV
however.

I have never thought of this before but isn't a hybrid car a Molotov Cocktail
with an electric fuse? I put out an electrical fire on a crowded stage by
simply climbing up and disconnecting one piece of stage lighting that was
burning. It immediately went out. However once a battery pack starts on fire
I suspect it might take more than pulling the plug to stop it. Lawrence Rhodes
