Victorian Big Battery on FIRE !!

Hi Phil

It certainly does look expensive!

I saw the article yesterday and expected to see some reference on TV news yesterday evening but not a mention on ABC or SBS. Did it get a mention over East?

Perhaps the greenies don't like bad news about "Clean Energy" installations?

I did see/hear about it on T.V. last night. They even showed an overhead of one of the boxes burning/smoking.

I guessed the vision had come from one of those remote-pilot drone-thingees!!

I was actually expecting something a little bigger for "largest battery in the southern hemisphere".

I suppose we'll never hear what specifically went wrong, assuming they can even figure it out.

Wasn't it a fire in a container owned by a subcontractor on site ? Not a fault in the battery.

Ahh correction just re-read the article. :-(

The smoke is highly toxic and drifting into neighbouring properties. Needs to be lots of fire retardent kept on site.

Massive target for terrorists too.

who hte f*ck runs a large chaemical plant (thats all batteries are) without suppression, fm200, inergen etc, christ, even Co2 would do hte trick

Every computer room that I've worked in had a Halon suppression system.

Dave has his say
