Full Circle Lithium Successfully Extinguishes Persistent C&D Landfill Lithium-Ion Battery Fire

About this update from Full Circle Lithium Corp

Key Highlights TORONTO, June 3, 2026 /CNW/ - Full Circle Lithium Corp. ("FCL" or the "Company") (TSXV: FCLI) (OTCQB: FCLIF) (FSE: K0Q), a leading U.S.-based manufacturer of lithium-ion battery fire extinguishing products, today announced the successful suppression on May 18, 2026, of a persistent construction and demolition (C&D) landfill fire in Evans County, Georgia, believed to have been ignited by an improperly disposed lithium-ion battery. The deployment marks another significant real-world validation of FCL-X™'s proprietary fire suppression technology in one of the most challenging environments facing the waste management industry today. The Incident The fire at the Evans County C&D landfill facility burned for approximately three days despite continuous suppression efforts by local fire department crews. Deep-seated combustion within the waste pile created persistent hot spots that continued to reignite beneath the surface — a hallmark of lithium-ion battery-driven landfill fires that conventional water- and foam-based suppression tools are ill-equipped to address. According to Matt Roper, Vice President of Roper Environmental Services and a waste industry expert involved in the response: "Lithium-ion batteries are becoming one of the most significant fire risks facing waste facilities today. When these batteries are crushed, punctured, or damaged during collection and disposal operations, they can enter thermal runaway and ignite surrounding materials. Once that happens inside a landfill or debris pile, the fire can become extremely difficult to access and extinguish. I have responded to many landfill fires, and nothing I have used compares to the effectiveness of FCL-X™." Following multiple days of unsuccessful suppression, FCL-X™ was deployed. The results were immediate and definitive: "This incident is exactly why FCL-X™ exists. Lithium-ion battery fires in waste environments are fundamentally different from conventional fires — they burn hotter, reignite more readily, and penetrate deeper into the waste mass than anything traditional suppression systems were designed to handle. The Evans County result demonstrates that FCL-X™ is not just an incremental improvement; it is a category-defining solution to an industry crisis that will only grow. We are proud to be delivering real o...
