    Yep tricky one

    The cause of this particular fire to one side

    My main point being

    I am looking at EV involvment no matter how/why/where a fire starts or what was to blame

    Cause of fire can be anything the point remains that EV involment in any fire will always lead to an esculation of events.

    As far as I am aware we have not had for example this issue on a passenger/vehicle ferry or Eurotunnel Le Shuttle but imo its just a matter of time

    If EVs become involved in a ship fire for example the ships crews are trained to a certain extent to fight fires

    But unlike the normal land fire service they lack the experience that is needed in fire fighting and also have limited fire fighting resourses,even then it is a challenge if not quickly contained

    Dont want to come across as doom and gloom but even if Evs were not somehow involved in this instance ( pretty unlikely )  it seems to me this unchecked scenario will play out time and time again

    This cant continue to be ignored without at least having some sort of contingency plans in place

    That wont happen imo unless things are quickly and openly discussed by experts prior to any future events

    Thoughts?
