In the local news today… increasing number of fire at waste facilities bc batteries.

The excavator operator who was working here said he had to leave to deal with a “hot load” from a garbage truck.. happens more and more often. Truck load starts burning and they just dump it quick..
He reckoned vapes are a big worry.

Anything with a lithium battery.

They could be quite a danger if you set fire to a truck full of them

Just outside bunnings locally a garbage truck dumped its load beside the road and blokes in chem suits were attacking it.
