A case for portable laptop computers and the like including removed batteries to contain and control the bi-products of combustion associated with the unintentional and unexpected combustion of electronic component batteries typically occurring during the thermal runaway of the batteries. The fire containment case controls heat, flame and toxic gases associated therewith. The case has an airtight seal with integrated filters to trap and neutralize the smoke and gas released during combustion. A variety of heat insulation both active and passive can be used along with condition status instruments, and fire suppression can also be provided in core construction and external adaption input suppression inlets.
