Unplug the charger/charge lead, try to get the bag on the ground or at least move it so the vents aren't pointed at anything that could catch fire? Or should I just get the hell away from it and go for the nearest fire extinguisher/sand pail?
Sand sand sand......... it has to be extinquished somehow, things don't burn without oxygen. Halon I suppose would work, others might be questionable.
I use a bag at the track but at home I have a clay pot I stole from the wife I put them in while charging, and my plan is, if a problem develops I just take the whole thing outside and flip the pot over in the dirt.
