Electric Vehicle & Lithium-Ion Battery Incident Response

Electric Vehicle & Lithium-Ion Battery Incident Response

Lithium-ion battery fires represent a new generation of hazardous materials incidents. The environmental impact of these events is still being studied, and extinguishment remains complex due to the potential for thermal runaway, re-ignition, and hazardous runoff. What is well documented is that runoff from lithium battery fires can contain toxic materials including lithium, graphite, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and aluminum—posing serious risks to the environment and public safety.

Incidents that were once considered routine vehicle fires now require a full hazmat response. Enviro Medics LLC provides specialized response services for electric vehicle and lithium-ion battery incidents, including fires, thermal runaway events, and hazardous material releases. Our teams are trained to manage every phase of these incidents, from hazardous runoff control and fire suppression support to safe handling and overpacking of damaged battery components for proper disposal.

Enviro Medics supports fire departments, towing providers, property owners, and recovery teams during EV and battery incidents by providing containment, monitoring, cleanup, and environmental mitigation services. These events often require extended scene management due to damaged battery packs, contaminated runoff, and hazardous residues.

Our response approach emphasizes controlled operations, environmental protection, and defensible documentation to reduce long-term liability. With the specialized equipment, training, and experience required for these complex incidents, Enviro Medics delivers compliant cleanup solutions that meet the demands of modern electric vehicle hazards.
