Removing any heat source, to prevent further damage and lithium leakage, would seem to be priority. Pulling the battery fuse should be involved.
A non-flammable chemical to make lithium inert would be ideal. Mineral oil or another oil could be poured into the exposed battery, but these could make the situation worse.
Maybe lithium could have something else poured onto it, with the end-product of petalite (LiAl(Si2O5)2) or lithium chloride (LiCl).[0] The lithium could later be recovered from these molecules.
