battery fire

I have one light set, where you hang a lithium ion battery from a carbon
fiber top tube. With all these revelations with Dell laptops, and cell
phones starting on fire, because of their lithium ion batteries, this is
causing some concern for me. If the lithium ion battery starts on fire
under my carbon fiber top tube, how long can it burn before the tube is
damaged? If the top tube is compromised, how would the bike crash?
