If this does turn out to be a fire from a battery in a PED or in a battery that has been packed as freight, is that fact logged anywhere at a central location?
Ie is there a single point for gathering data on battery fires globally?
There have been changes to the rules regarding carrying batteries and at the same time there are a lot more battery powered devices than there was even two years ago. As an industry I'm not sure we are on top of this from a risk management perspective.
Would it be a wise move to create a website where links to incident reports involving battery fires are logged so that an accurate picture can be developed?
