Firebag for lithium batteries

We are about to descide on which model to buy.

Some models only contain the fire, others also keep the smoke inside the firebag

There don't seem to be any regulation/requirement yet for firebags.

Which model do you have in your airline, and why did you choose that model ?

Inputs please 😀

How will you get the offending items into the fire bag and how will you cool them after you have done so? You can't realistically put out a lithium fire, with or without a fire bag but you can mitigate against its worse effect, i.e., heat. A fire bag may make this more difficult.

Drop them in the bag, followed by a bag of ice and seal it....

Not ice. That can make the situation worse as it acts as an isolator.

Use fire gloves to put it in the sack and fill it with water (the sack should be watertight)

The firebags in some airlines stalk the aisles pushing trollies...
