The Stockholm Ambulance Service have identified a need for information about prehospital capabilities in incidents involving lithium-ion battery fires. The analysis of which substances are produced in these fires and how they may affect us needs to be clarified and described by each emergency service based on their respective area of responsibility.

Ambulance staff responsibility concerns the patients and the medical care provided to them. This is how the introduction to their new information video about hydrogen fluoride (HF) produced in lithium-ion battery fires begins. 

The video is a collaboration between the Stockholm Clinical Training Centre (KTC) and the Swedish Poisons Information Centre (GIC).
