I saw some gizmo that was supposed to go under the car, puncture the battery compartment from the bottom, and then flood the whole thing with water which was supposed to put the battery out. I couldn’t tell if it was bullshit or not, though.
I think battery fires are self oxidising, you cannot suffocate them. The advice for small lithium cells for radio control toys was stand up wind, ideally have a steel bucket of sand to put it in.
Also discharge them completely as you can before disposal. The RC batteries had no protection so we could take them to zero volts
Maybe they put the whole truck in an airtight container?

sounds like a really great idea either way.
