Word of warning guys...Lithium-Ion batteries are known to unexpectedly re-ignite (without warning) minutes, hours and even days after all visible fire has been put out. Lithium-ion batteries can enter an uncontrollable, self-heating state. This can result in the release of gas, cause fire and possible explosion. Please take care.
Oh no, not another one! Good job on the heat sensitive cameras, glad it wasn't too bad, good on emergency service workers, another fantastic job well done as usual! I love the crane action at the best of times but on fire, it was literally smokin'
My dad who’s a firefighter 👩🚒 was on your site also we both watch your channel but he didn’t see right to have a autograph at time not appropriate, but glad we did a good service your yard it’s so good you have your heat, sensitive cameras as well glad your shearer or equipment didn’t get badly damaged after all money spent So quite lucky, it’s just cameras and light which aren’t very expensive Also we have started doing experiments now with Li iron batteries like we do chip pan fire we reckon 80% uk don’t realise danger ⚠️ fire they cause
Unfortunately, battery fires are only likely to become more common with how widely they are used now in things like disposable vapes. Lithium ion batteries if shorted out/pierced will arc and catch fire extremely quickly like you have shown. If you find a lithium battery that is damaged, best thing to do is throw it in a bucket of salty water outside, away from anything flammable. The salty water solution will react with the materials in the battery and the water will go a deep yellow colour. Best to leave it 24 hours.
Really wish they would ban disposable vapes, there is nothing disposable about something with a lithium ion battery and as well as the fire risk it is a huge waste of batteries that can be recharged and reused 1000s of times
Random question but did the fire sort of help by burning all the non metal stuff out of the scrap and made it more valuable because its just pure metal left ? like how you can burn cable to get rid of the rubber casing etc.. anyway its good that not too much damage was done to your equipment in the yard and well done to the firemen they are the real heroes we are lucky in this country to have such great emergency services!
Hi Richard and Harry, I like your video. I am based in Sheffield and I sell non-ferrous to EMR. I think it would be interesting to learn more from your family history to complete episode 12. Especially about the life of Henry Taroni. I believe that you must all come from the 1870 wave of Southern Italian immigrants fleeing the famine and Napoleonic wars, your family name is probably Tarone, with an "e" or Tarrone with double "r", it kind of mean "poor peasant" in Italy and some time is used as an insult. Maybe the first "Taroni" came to Birmingham because of an Earthquake in the South of Italy, I am dying to know more. Also, can you give us some more insight on the trade of "exotic" non-ferrous like titanium, cutting tool inserts, neodymium, rare earth, cobalt alloy etc... ? Many thanks for your video.
You have to screen all incoming loads & During Summer hot days use sprinklers or even set up fire suppression when fires happen, Not sure if the fire department bills you for the fire fighting? I had a Kitchen fire in my Rental property & they sent me the fire bill of about $1000 for the cost of the the fire
Have you already pivoted or thought about expanding into the breaker business? The decommissioning of the oil and gas infrastructure will bring around 1,000,000 mt of scrap steel onshore through Great Yarmouth and Dundee, including a lot of corrosion-resistant alloys. I imagine it should be of interest to you. Can you process radioactive LSA-contaminated piping? The dirtier, the more it pays, and that shit is tailored for the emperor of scrap !
That was a great example well done lads Jesus Christ Richard man your proper old school you are your Risking your bloody life just to show us how a battery caching fire lol
How do the companies building weighbridges that get sunk into the ground and live outside there whole lives not make the parts water proof its pretty stupid
@@Landie_Man going to be out of action for a while mate it's a lefort shear baler burnt al12 wheels and wiring dont know about the ram seals until we get it running proper desaster
As hard as I imagine it is airy you need to look into improving the separation of battery’s? This will obviously just keep happening especially with the use of lithium increasing
Went to your yard today and can safely say will never come back. Waiting over an hour to get on the bridge, unloading clean metal and I'm being bombarded by other people to move my van etc. Yet they're all there stripping and unloading shit metal 🤣 dissappinted really considering its meant to be the best in the UK. But I can't fault the prices paid, that's the only decent thing.
Open a small non rechargeable 12v lithium battery out of a remote they have lithium metal in them trow it in water and boom!! With rechargeable ones drive a copper nail trough and you will instantly look like a Vietnamese person after an American jet has dropped napon on them
Glad everything is ok. Baxenden car breakers have just taken in a 4door Nissan Micra in a lovely green colour 😂😂😁😉👊👊👌👌👍👍 give thm a call for the banger racing car. Do you wana send me the white Mercedes kids toy car not a joke?????
Smart thinking. Getting a hose on the grab so the oil and pipes didnt heat up. Dealt with the situation well in my opinion. 👍

I sore the news guys and my prayers were with you all, I've been waiting for this video update, glad you and the business is still thriving guys 👍
Thankyou so much 🙏🏼
well done to fire men and 2 u harry and richard. Best fire issus in scrap yard that happening every month in uk.
Glad all turned out well for you guys. And thanks for the info,
Good work
Fire alarm back up batteries are similar to the moped ones you showed. Little smaller.

This was a very interesting video guys.
Might be worth getting a Night Guard, they could monitor for fires and security. Glad it all ended well and not to much damage.
The latin for lead is plumbum...hence a plumb line having a lead weight on the end.. where the term plumber comes from 👍
2:59 hmmm 🤔🔥🚔
Another cracking episode Garry 😄😄
Lucky lads 💯 we got some good fire fighters round here 👌
On the plus side, think about the additional water weight you'll be able to shift on to the next buyer! (I learn that from your video!)
Why is the yard flooded did they do it deliberatly or r the drains blocked
This will become more common with the disposable vapes that get chucked in the bin.
I no in parts of Europe they use shipping containers full of water and they leave the cars with lithium batteries for a week or so
Glad all is OK lads 👍👍👀
Harry looks like he should be in a happy Mondays video

You don't usually get billed for firemen coming out in the UK thankfully.
@@e.n.l1976 only for non emergencies, like kids locked in cars or people shut in bathrooms.
How many hours of. Ha. Penetration by fire, can those walls take? Usually a few hours I think
Happened to a dustcart near me.

I know u guys ain't no angels but this is ravin
Henry 😂😂😂😂
Nice video good 👍
Glad everything is good not good
The temp needs changing on ur heat seeking cameras it wouldve pikd it up earlier
Imagine what it will be like when clapped out EV's start becoming dead common. "Green" me hoop.
Firemen are under paid such a dangerous job who else runs into fires
a stunt man
is it true electric cars are not recyclable in this day and now?
That was a great example well done lads Jesus Christ Richard man your proper old school you are your Risking your bloody life just to show us how a battery caching fire lol
IN A BATH OF OIL BATTERY ARE SAFE TO TAKE APART
How do the companies building weighbridges that get sunk into the ground and live outside there whole lives not make the parts water proof its pretty stupid
Whats the price of car batteries atm
Older batteries are Nickel Cadmium...
Deacent cctv make and model please :) sorry about the fire chaps :/
We just had the same bro the whole yard went up mate
Hopefully you didn’t lose any equipment.
And they want every vehicle a rolling fire b,,😅😅
@@Landie_Man done a lot of damage to the baler

Charged battery's are worse
House full if lithium battery hmm damn right teala powerwalls and electric cars fire hazards

Perhaps leave the lab experiments to Big Clive
, think off all the fires you’ll have if they get there way with the ev,motors,
Why didn't you just chop it in half with the shear where you cut all the copper up?
wow , i know it was a Lithium iron battery , was it a car battery or Pc battery or phone battery .
It was dildo battery
just sat down with my food , and this was posted 6 seconds ago. is that a sign ?
Bosh
7month's and now the other day today he got a work hivizs
Harry can I have a black hi vis please 😅
Say please 😂
Inspection on the tatters more going forward there your problem
Love your channel but stop sweeping the yard and get a backpack blower, less than half the time.
I never knew fat Joe was a tatter now lean back lean back
