A friend has his own battery setup in a shed. He has a ton of sand above it which would collapse in the event of a fire.
I have 1000 litres of heating oil in my back garden which is hardly unflamable. 10MWh of fuel.

Heating oil in a tank is quite safe. It doesn't evaporate rapidly, and will not burn unless atomized or spread out. It won't explode unless provided with a much richer source of oxygen than normal atmospheric pressure air.
Can LION battery fires be smothered? Online articles are contradictory. Some say they can be smothered, but others say that they generate their own oxygen, and you need to cool the fire, some say to do both.
