Not sure. Just seems like the very worst fires are from *large* concentrations of these cells packed closely together. Perhaps if there's even the slightest heat build-up in a faulty cell there needs to be at least *some* modicum of air-spacing to permit heat release or the whole 'pile' goes into thermal runaway with the devastating results we typically see. I only say this because I've never known individual cells or small clusters of them go *bang* big time.
