Port of Montreal lithium battery fire leaves residents with more questions than answers

A lockdown advisory for residents in the Montreal’s east end was lifted after a major fire involving lithium batteries was brought under control by firefighters late Monday. The advisory was issued after a fire broke out at a shipping container holding some 15,000 kilograms of lithium batteries around 2:45 p.m. at the Port of Montreal. The Montreal fire department first reported it was responding to a blaze at 3:15 p.m., with the intervention lasting through the night. “Due to the amount of energy that these batteries store, it took us quite a while to extinguish the fire,” Matthew Griffith, the fire department’s section chief, said in an interview Tuesday. “The fire was extinguished around 3 a.m. this morning.” Global's Dan Spector explains.
