I got an answer to the question above.

One thing that concerns me about lithium cells is their nature to catch fire 
and the way they are almost explosive when they do.  I'm thinking of making 
a box for them of aluminum sheet.  This will contain a fire if a cell 
ruptures, but not the heat.  I don't have a lot of space to add insulation, 
but I could add a layer of something that would absorb the heat at least on 
the side that would be in contact with anything.  I'm wondering what would 
be a good insulating or heat absorbing layer.  In the old days I would wrap 
the box in an asbestos cloth, but I expect they aren't used any more.

I found some half inch thick Ceramic Fiber Blanket on eBay for $10.  This 
looks like it could help insulate a run away battery.  But when I look at a 
data sheet, I'm not sure it will keep the outer plastic case from melting 
and/or catching fire.  They give a temperature rise, but don't say how long 
they allowed before taking the measurement.  They cite ASTM Test Procedure
C-177, but I haven't dug that up yet to see how it is done.

What else would be an option?  It should be cheap and available.
