As we looked back through our episode list, we realized we haven’t really explored each placard class in detail—so we figured, why not start now?Thank you to our sponsor for this episode: ObexionFRObexionFR is a mobile solution for first responders dealing with lithium battery fires, created by former FDNY Hazmat experts. It uses advanced science to neutralize fires by addressing heat, oxygen, and fuel, quickly containing and extinguishing them while keeping toxic gas levels safe. The process cools the battery, isolates oxygen, and prevents further ignition, providing a reliable tool for challenging battery fire incidents.
