While attempting a home-charge of a set of NiCd batteries, they were left unattended and consequently exploded (relatively high current was flowing through them). The basement area in which the explosion took place is currently being ventilated overnight.
Does anyone have any recommendations for further safety precautions or clean-up procedures?

And, in times to come, it might be wise to follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations for charging procedures, especially the current level.
If you're paranoid, you can rig a sort of "charging chamber" with some hollow-center cinder blocks. That will at least confine the damage if it happens again.
I'm guessing no one was hurt.
Keep the peace(es).
