This is not good but to be fair gasoline powered cars that caught fire have killed a few people thru the years. It’s not just EVs

Of course they have.

But when you compare the number of EVs on the road and the number of ICE cars on the road, the frequency of fires is much more common in EVs, and once they catch fire...they are difficult if not often impossible to extinguish via conventional means, and the toxic materials released in those intense fires is far more harmful.

As this guy (MGUY in Australia) states in one of his videos, the cars in an enclosed space can turn the entire space into a gigantic fuel-air bomb. I suspect that is what happened here that killed the firefighters.

Yep.

But were those gasoline powered cars sitting in a parking lot, minding their own business, with a molitov cocktail under them?

however no gas car fire ever resulted in a shelter in place notice cuz of the lethal fumes and smoke .

every ev fire produces lethal gases, fumes and smoke.

and the charging stations and battery stations are even worse.

couple times in california that kind of fire resulted in notices to shelter in place.
