1 Introduction This document provides guidance to first responders for incidents involving energy storage systems (ESS). The guidance is specific to ESS with lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, but
NFPA 855, the International Fire Code, and other standards guide meeting the safety requirements to ensure that Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can be operated safely.
A battery storage power station, or battery energy storage system ( BESS ), is a type of energy storage power station that uses a group of batteries to store electrical energy.
In recent years, fire and explosion accidents in energy storage power stations are common. According to incomplete statistics, in the past 10 years, there have been more
The investigations described will identify, assess, and address battery storage fire safety issues in order to help avoid safety incidents and loss of property, which have become major challenges

Battery Energy Storage System We are helping to strengthen Victoria''s renewable energy future by developing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs). Safety is our number one priority.
This Draft Emergency Response Plan for energy storage facilities, presented by the American Clean Power Association (ACP), is the result of a collaborative member effort initially undertaken by the Energy Storage Association (ESA) in 2019 and continued following ESA’s merger with ACP at the beginning of 2022.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) stabilize the electrical grid, ensuring a steady flow of power to homes and businesses regardless of fluctuations from varied energy sources or other disruptions. However, fires at some BESS installations have caused concern in communities considering BESS as a method to support their grids.
Current guidance is to focus the response on preventing the spread of fire. Direct fire crews to let the fire burn itself out and to use water to prevent the spread of fire to neighboring batteries or other structures. Research is ongoing into the most effective method of water application to prevent spread.
