“It looks really bad,” the cameraperson said.

No injuries or structural damage to the building columns was reported, and Yakel said the cause of the fire is undetermined at this time.

With CarBQs being popular on Freerepublic, here is some video.

Without even watching the video, I’m guessing an EV. Ok, now I’ll go watch the video.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

I hate stories that use unexplained acronyms.

And you will find out you were wrong.

[Dr. Zzyzx]

San Francisco Airport mayhaps?

I hate stories that use unexplained acronyms.

SFO? That’s the San Francisco Airport. Read and memorize airport codes when you don’t have anything better to do. 😂

[Ed Condon]

Retired from the U.S.Army? You were probably exposed to more acronyms during your tours of duty, than a non-veteran will encounter in his lifetime.

Well, there’s been a rash of EV fires as of late.

[wjcsux]

Some of the three alpha codes don’t make sense. BTW Beijing airport is still PEK.

[EvilCapitalist]

That’s why I thought what I did.

[Libloather]

Lithium is a hell of a fire.

[DUMBGRUNT]

—”Lithium is a hell of a fire.”

Yes, it does.

Unlikly that is an EV CarBQ.

But still exciting.

[TBall]

I say we cut down all the rainforest and put up wind and solar. I’m sure I read about it somewhere

[DUMBGRUNT]

—”I say we cut down all the rainforest and put up wind and solar. “

Man up and do your part!

Without delay purchase a nice large EV and put it to work.

A GMC Hummer at 9,000 pounds would be most helpful.

[Portcall24]

And when you finish those, you can memorize the two letter tail flashes on USAF aircraft.

[Noumenon]

And be sure to park it in your garage while you charge it overnight. What could go wrong?

[ReformedBeckite]

And you will find out you were wrong.

Ok how about a gas power vehicle carrying a big replacement battery for an EV, or taking an old battery from a EV somewhere.

[Secret Agent Man]

That isnt an ev fire. I’ve seen enough to know the difference. Its an engine fire, probably a fuel line ruptured/leaked and the pressurized gas stream hit hot engine areas and ignited.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

That was in the news just yesterday. Scotland? Ireland? Somewhere they are cutting down a huge forest for wind machines. Germany has done a lot of that.
