The present invention relates to a shipping container for mitigating external fire risks. The shipping container is configured for shipping lithium ion batteries with a cargo cavity proximate and interior to a second inner flame-retardant corrugated layer. The second inner flame-retardant corrugated layer is proximate and interior to an inner thermal paste panel. The inner thermal paste panel is proximate and interior to a dead air space panel. The dead air space panel is proximate and interior to a first inner flame-retardant corrugated layer. The first inner flame-retardant corrugated layer is proximate and interior to an outer thermal paste panel. The outer thermal paste panel is proximate and interior to a flame-retardant corrugated carton. The thermal paste panels preferably comprise aluminum flashing containing a mesh matrix for holding flowable thermal paste. The shipping container is lidded by a fitted cap above an air cap above a vacuum plenum cap.
