Depends on the facility design: whether it's possible for the whole place to go up at once, or if it's divided into sections that are isolated from each other.

Depends on the facility design: whether it's possible for the whole place to go up at once, or if it's divided into sections that are isolated from each other. Even individual batteries and cells can be isolated from each other if there's enough space.
Space and weight, and firefighting ability are much less of a constraint in these types of facilities than they are in an EV battery.

Firefightability matters for sure but I'd guess is second order? What's the total expected number of LiPo fires per GW of base load, assuming intermittent renewables and grid storage?
