“...the fate of the cars is unknown.”
Uh, the ship is burning five above the water line from one end to the other. I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I’m betting the cars are toast. Literally.

“I would assume fire depts across the USA will increasingly need this special equipment to fight electric car fires resulting from car accidents and malfunctions.”
Nah, they just need crews on scene for 7 to 8 hours and pour 40,000 gallons of water on each EV car fire.
A normal car on the other hand can be put out in just a few minutes with 300 gallons of water.

We had a golf cart catch on fire in a parking garage. That wasn’t so bad, but the 300K Lamborghini next to it was an issue. The insurance guy was pale, the fire marshal wasn’t impressed, and the building’s management was scared. I think shortly you won’t be allowed to park those rolling fire bombs in side anymore. The water damage was epic!!

Careful everyone. Speaking ill of EV's will draw the ire of the resident fanbois here what love them.
I recall Richard Hammond's crashing a Rimac (entirely his fault) took three days to extinguish the fire.

I’d bet that all the cars on that ship are burning. Not just the electric ones.

“Anyone concerned by this incident and the implications on the car they’ve ordered should maintain in contact with dealer with which their order was placed.”
They should be thankful the cars caught fire on the ship rather when they were driving them.

It was a gender reveal party gone awry that started the fire.

I am betting they will tow it around long enough for it to sink. Who’s going to want to clean up that mess?Torpedo practice for the nearest (any nation) Naval vessel? But no, then they'd be responsible for the environmental impact statement. Too much paperwork!

Out of curiosity, why was he carrying around enough baking soda to douse a car fire? That’s a real “Be Prepared” moment!

Every ship fire I’ve ever seen, or ship firefighting trainer I’ve ever been too... The smoke was black denoting a Class Bravo fire fueled by oil, grease, diesel fuel, plastics etc. That smoke appears to be white, which denotes a Class Alpha fire fueled by wood products.
Weird.

I think this is what is known in the insurance business as a “Total Loss”.

Well, for starters, he always owned Volkswagons, LOL!
Secondly, he was a Prepper back before it was cool, so there was always enough ‘emergency & bug out stuff’ in our family car & truck that there was hardly any room for US!
I miss that guy! ;)

Very few fire dept’s have the necessary equipment to extinguish this HAZMAT fire.
