It's a highly unlikely scenario, but I'd feel daft if it ever happened and I hadn't made this small effort. I'd also have damaged lungs, and they're pretty bad already.
To save myself and others all that energetic running about and coughing out dense toxic smoke, I decided to strap an overheat alarm to my ebike battery when travelling on public transport. If the alarm sounds, I'll smash a window and throw the damn ebike battery out. The hammer is yet to arrive from China.
Buzzer:
To test the buzzer:
To switch the unit on/off:
This may or not provide ennough power, will have to see. If not I'll have to make a 12V power pack, or try a powerbank via a voltage converter.
Handy window hammer, in case I can't grab one of the hammers behind glass located next to a window quickly:

A velcro strap will hold it onto the ebike battery, the heat probe will be backed by a heat insulator (polystyrene) and will be held down between the unit and the battery.
The version I use at home, when charging or storing my ebike battery:
