The best flame retardant for LiIon fires is a bucket of sand

It's usually difficult to dump that much sand on a big fire and it has the unfortunate side effect of keeping heat in

In this situation I'd be concentrating on hosing down the adjacent units to keep them cool and there's a lot to be said for having some kind of spray system to automate this, but it'd be utterly useless in actually putting out anyhting that's actually burning
