lithium battery fire frequency increasing

Plane makes emergency landing in San Diego after battery pack catches fire

The explosion of a lithium battery on an aircraft made me think of safety steps I should take. 

Granted such fires are not that often, but they do happen. 

Keeping such batteries in non flammable locations is top on my safety list. 

A non electrical fire extinguisher is second on that list.
