After being installed in the glass break sensor, the installer went to place additional batteries into from the same box into other sensors. He then heard a loud crack and found flames shooting from one of the devices, the device fell to the floor and the battery shot around the room spitting fire. It was quickly covered with a wet towel to extinguish the burning battery. As this was taking place a smoke detector in another room began sounding.
