    This is infuriating.  The instant the words fire and car are used in the same phrase, it’s an EV or EVs make it worse.  Every single car involved in this event added to the complexity of dealing with the fire.   For every non BEV there’s the small matter of a tank containing highly flammable fuel.  For every hybrid, there’s a large battery that could make things interesting.  However, we’ll start at how hard it is to extinguish a fire in an EV.  The included chemicals and metals mean the fire will be hotter and, once the battery is up to max temperature it’ll be far hotter than the fossil fuel fires.

    The fact it’s a car park at as airport suggest a huge likelihood that there will be some EVs of some kind involved.
