[puts on pedantry glasses] ackshually lithium (polymer) batteries don't cause lithium (metal) fires, since they contain lithium ions, not metallic lithium. a lipo battery fire can be extinguished with a standard class A extinguisher, whereas you'd need a class D one for an actual metal fire.
(single use [lithium batteries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_metal_battery), on the other hand, *do* contain metallic lithium)
