Incident: Air China A333 enroute on May 25th 2011, passenger camera battery catches fire

An Air China Airbus A330-300, flight CA-1549 from Beijing to Shanghai (China), was enroute when cabin crew smelled smoke, located the source in an overhead locker and found a passenger's camera had caught fire due to thermal runaway of its Lithium battery. The cabin crew were able to contain the fire, cool the batteries down and thus stop the thermal runaway and resulting fire. The aircraft continued to Shanghai for a safe landing. No injuries were reported.

The airline said, the spontaneous fire resulted in about 20cm high flames. The flight and aircraft remained unaffected, the flight continued to destination.

Passengers reported the cabin crew carried the burning camera to a lavatory, other cabin crew rushed for fire extinguishers, and put the fire out in the lavatory.

The FAA had released a Safety Alert for Operators including video material showing how to fight such fires in November 2009, see How to fight fires caused by Lithium batteries in portable electronic devices.
