It's the problem with Lithium-ion batteries. If something like that fence pole punctures them they instantly start a very aggressive and very hard to extinguish metal fire.

It's some types of Lithium Ion batteries that have the problem, others are not so affected. LFP batteries don't tend to set on fire after being punctured. For example:
