When Batteries Fight Back: The Campus McMicken Energy Storage Fire That Sparked Industry Change
Let’s face it – when we think about campus safety, exploding batteries aren’t usually top of mind. That changed dramatically in 2022 when the Campus McMicken energy storage fire sent plumes of toxic smoke over Cincinnati, forcing 1,500 students to evacuate. Firefighters battled the blaze for 12 hours as lithium-ion batteries in the 4MW storage system created a dangerous “thermal runaway” chain reaction. Turns out, these systems aren’t just big Powerbanks for buildings – they’re complex beasts needing specialized care.
