Mitigation Strategy: Over Packs
An Overpack device can be used to contain a fire event or a thermal runaway event. The bag functions similar to a Fire Containment Cover (FCC) and operates primarily on oxygen starvation. The bag is able to stop the propagation of fire from spreading to nearby cargo by containing the fire within itself. The bags can be made in various sizes to accommodate packages of different sizes.
Most of the Overpack bags are made of a material similar to the FCC hence have its fire resistant properties.
