Battery fires do not change much in the first stage. They can be cooled and extinguished (on the outside) with water, but initial reactions are violent for sure, see videos on YouTube.
The long term strategy for firefighters will likely consist of removing the battery (coordinated or forcefully) from the house and then dumping it in a thick layer of sand or water where it can react until it's done.
