For lithium-ion battery fires,some fire departments are adopting special firefighting agents like FOG cannons containing lithium ion specific extinguishing agents. These agents suppress the fire by smothering it and interrupting the chemical reaction inside the battery. I believe one of the agents is Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion(AVD). This is a popular option that uses water and vermiculite, a heat-resistant mineral. AVD works by creating a coating around the battery, encapsulating it and absorbing the heat preventing the fire from spreading (hopefully).
