"A big rig overturned, sparking a fierce lithium-ion battery blaze that spewed toxic gases, snarled port traffic and resulted in what one official said was massive economic losses from delayed shipments."
"These batteries are generally safe with proper care and storage... but there is serious reason to worry about a crash involving a truck transporting these batteries or a battery storage facility catching fire."
"In May, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spent 14 days battling a hazardous fire that ignited at a lithium-ion battery storage facility in Otay Mesa."
"A fire in an overturned big rig carrying the batteries by way of the Vincent Thomas Bridge caused millions of dollars in shipping delays, according to L.A. City Councilmember Tim McOsker."
