If a lithium battery catches fire, the main goal of emergency personnel is **to cool the battery**. Cooling the battery helps to mitigate the risk of re-ignition and further fire spread. While taking the car out of service and preserving the battery may be considerations in some contexts, the immediate focus during a fire situation is primarily on extinguishing the fire and cooling the burning battery.
