Full Circle Lithium's Live EV Fire Extinguishment Demonstration

Full Circle Lithium Corp. (FCL) is set to host an unprecedented live burn demonstration of its innovative FCL-X™ technology on December 16, 2025, in Houston, Texas. This event will not only feature real-time fire extinguishment of an electric vehicle (EV) under thermal runaway but also aim to educate first responders, safety officials, and industry leaders about advanced lithium battery fire safety.

Over the past 18 months, FCL has conducted over 25 successful live burn demonstrations, each providing vital hands-on experience with real EV fire dynamics and showcasing the effectiveness of FCL-X™ in mitigating lithium fires. This growing initiative is particularly important given the increasing prevalence of lithium-ion batteries in today’s technology-driven world.

A Multidisciplinary Event

The upcoming demonstration is expected to draw a more diverse audience than ever before, encompassing a wide array of stakeholders. Participants include:

• - First responders and fire department personnel
• - Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) operators
• - Waste management and recycling teams
• - Representatives from local universities and research institutions
• - Port authority officials
• - Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)
• - Personnel from government safety organizations
• - Professionals from the insurance sector

FCL CEO Carlos Vicens expressed excitement about the growing interest from various sectors. “The rapid adoption of FCL-X™ and the increasing enthusiasm for our live demonstrations illustrate the urgency of lithium fire safety as technologies using these batteries become increasingly integrated into our lives,” he noted.

Milestone of a Year of Commercial Success

FCL-X™, now in its first year of commercial availability, is rapidly being adopted across fire departments, commercial enterprises, and industrial sectors throughout the United States. The product has been met with positive feedback due to its effectiveness as a fire extinguishing agent specifically tailored for lithium-ion battery fires. This has been supplemented by its environmentally safe and non-toxic composition, making it a preferred choice for fire mitigation.

Future Developments

In response to the rising demand for residential safety products related to lithium fire risks, FCL plans to launch a home-use version of FCL-X™ by late Q1 2026. This consumer-friendly solution is designed to empower households to safely and effectively manage potential lithium fire hazards within their premises.

Acknowledgment of Collaboration

FCL extends its gratitude to all participants who have contributed to the program’s success over the past year and a half. Their commitment to safety and curiosity regarding lithium fire risks have been invaluable.

Conclusion

The December event promises to be a significant milestone in improving public awareness and safety preparedness around lithium battery fire challenges. As electric vehicles and lithium-ion technologies continue to proliferate, such educational efforts are crucial in ensuring the safety of first responders and communities alike. The advancements showcased during this demonstration signify hope and readiness in the face of fire safety, promising a future where lithium-related incidents can be effectively managed, demonstrating Full Circle Lithium's commitment to innovation in safety technology.
