Most parking garages have their own hoses and fire spigots scattered around to meet fire code. Gasoline catches fire too, you know.

Better question: can they get enough water to keep the battery pack from slagging the structure and every car around it. These battery fires don’t extinguish very well and all the water really does is keep the temperatures down until the available power to feed the short has been drained.
