First, and more importantly, no one was injured after a fire in a fire station destroyed over 20 million Euros worth of equipment, including a dozen vehicles. The cause is known—lithium batteries connected to a charger.
AN EV emergency vehicle on charge achieved thermal runaway and took out an entire fire station.
Did I mention that no one was injured in the fire?
There has been no word on the emissions released as a result of the incident. As you know, we are keenly interested in that sort of thing.
On a related note, I’ve been watching Fire Country. Season three just started. I’m in season one, which has an episode in which they extinguished a hybrid car fire with water and ingenuity after it reignited a few times. Sure, yeah. That’s about as clever as the writers for Elementary allowing Sherlock Homes to justify (more than once) the claims used to support the response to global warming. Let’s just say neither stands up to serious scientific scrutiny. EV rescue vehicles appear to fit that template quite well.
Unstable and, depending on the vehicle and expected range and power demands on-site, more virtue signaling that puts lives at risk than actual utility. Lives during a rescue and at the firehouse with no fire alarm system.
Two bad decisions collide—one small step forward pandering to woke environmentalism, several steps backward for public safety. Oh, and let’s not forget the emissions of an entire firehouse full of trucks and equipment, including other lithium battery-powered equipment and large rescue vehicles going up in smoke.
The fire station was brand new, by they way—state of the art.
Author's narrative:

One reason the building was totally destroyed is -- get this -- they saw no reason why a fire house should have a smoke alarm.
Not kidding.
So many unintended consequences.
The layers of irony look like tree rings.
Definitely a 5-alarm fire.
Indeed.
How foolish of them.
Oh the irony.
bttt
I guess the intense stupidity of the brainwashed “climate changers” is coming back to bite them in the arschloch..
Climutt Chainz claims another victim.
Me: thats ironic
German: no its not, its made of Lithium ion!
Another One bites the Dust.
The most ironic thing about that song is that not one of her little examples were ironies.
It was just a bunch of really sad anecdotes.
These jokes write themselves. Fire Captain killed while urinating on a fire truck(no pension, not work related).
Everyone involved in the purchase, installation, and implementation of this fraud needs to forced to pay for a new firehouse and a new diesel firetruck out of their own pockets.
It reminds me of the scene from the movie, Roxanne, where Steve Martin’s character — the fire chief — returns to the firehouse only to find the flames shooting high out the trash can inside the building and shouts, “Dammit, we’re supposed to put them out!”
Too cool! Coming to kalipornia soon. Mrs. O’Leary’s cow has new compitetion.
