For the liberals, the worst thing about this incident is the contribution of the fire to climate change.

Glad they’re okay. Cobb is one of the good guys in the NFL.

He has played 13 seasons as a wide receiver.
Pretty amazing to maintain your skills, your health, and your NFL speed for 13 years.
He will be 34 years old in two months.

“However, it said that EV battery fires can burn up to one thousand degrees hotter than a combustion engine fire, creating major challenges for fire departments in tackling such blazes.”
I was hoping Cobb would say in the article that he’s done with EVs forever but I did not see it. Surely he is.

They have to let those fires burn out I think.

One of the 1st EV fires I ever read about reported the fire department put 32 THOUSAND gallons of water on the fire and it STILL wouldn’t go out....so they eventually resigned to just controlling the area and letting it burn itself out......what a terrific design feature!

There are cities that now have tanks to completely submerge an EV in.
That way they can leave it there for a few days to make sure the fire is out.

Bet the local FD has at least one car size fire blanket.

There other thing my local volunteer fire department guys were discussing was when they started making cars with magnesium wheels. When those would catch on fire it was really tough to put the fire out.

Is that an EV? If so, why?
