Notified at 1732 hrs. via cell phone by [REDACTED] to that a fire investigator was being requested at [REDACTED] for a lithium ion battery fire. (was later determined to be a Lipoly) I responded in [REDACTED] from my home.
On arrival out at 1807 hours I met with [REDACTED]. He stated that apparatus responded to a reported fire described as an electrical outlet fire that turned out to be a lithium ion battery fire. An occupant of the home remove the battery that was burning to the backyard. Crews then moved it to the front yard.

I then went to the backyard and photographed the burn marks on the back porch and some clothing and towels that we used to bring the burning battery to the backyard.
I then interviewed an occupant of the home, who stated that his girlfriend cousin was down on the first floor when the fire occurred. He and XXXXXXX was on the second floor. The cousin called up to her cousin XXXXXX once and then a second time which was described as being little bit more frantic.
When he and his girlfriend go down to the first floor they saw the battery burning on the floor. He put flour on the fire in an attempt to smother it. He then put a towel and clothing over it and brought it to the backyard.
The battery was plugged into the charging unit, but the charging unit was not plugged into the wall outlet according too XXXXXX. He stated that he had bought a remote control airplane on Friday at Hobby Quarters in Foxborough. He didn’t have paperwork as everything is electronic. He bought it on a payment plan. He was going to try to send me the information when he found it. There was a second battery that came with the Remote control airplane. I examined the second battery in photographed it.XXXXXX demonstrated how it was plugged into the charger and I photographed it.

The plane was identified as a Star Max J3 Cub. The manual for same can be found here. https://rc-today.ru/UserFiles/Image/Instructions/382885194X592007X40.pdf
I interviewed XXXXXXXXXX who stated that she heard a cackling sound, which I asked her if it was a crackling sound and she said yes. She stated it was like popcorn popping. It was coming from the area of the battery. All of a sudden the battery split in half and smoke and sparks started coming from the battery. Flames followed the sparks.
