I'm happy that my daughter didn't take the grandkids to the pumpkin patch today.

electric vehicle fire?

[metmom]

Could you tell us where this was?

I fail to understand why so many people automatically assume that everyone knows where their locality is.

[fidelis]

The tagline says Texas. I always check there first.

electric vehicle fire?

Or hot catalytic converters over dry leaves and corn stubble?

It has occurred to me after several recent articles that EV’s are a great resource for terrorism.
Available everywhere, uncontrolled, movement into “sensitive” area’s goes unnoticed, and clearly lethal if placed into the right situation then ignited.
Almost afraid to point this out, but I am sure the bad actors can see it on their own.
I am coming to the conclusion that they need to be banned from many places.

Looks like it was the Robinson Family Farm in Temple, Texas, about 1/3 of the way from Waco to Austin.

Whatever the cause of the fire it sounds like people were parked in uncut tall grass. I don’t see how else everything could catch fire like this.

[ApplegateRanch]

Though, the cause of the fire remains under investigation, initial reports "indicate the fire possibly started from an inappropriately discarded cigarette in the parking area," the statement said.

Nah; bottom of a Coke bottle focused the sun... .

No? Well, maybe... .

Or, maybe wait for the investigation to finish, istead of wildly speculating.

Easily weaponized.

Especially if GPS enabled.

[metmom]

Thank you.

Often there is NO indication, even in the “topic” field.

[lightman]

I stand by my hot catalytic converter over cornstubble theory until proven otherwise.

[lightman]

Texas is now in both “topic” and “keyword”.

[NWFree]

We have burn bans have to really be careful right now

[NWFree]

Because of extreme drought

Wow, that’s a bad fire. But imagine if 70 EVs in a parking lot all caught on fire. It would take weeks to extinguish. The Fire Department would have to bring in 70 dunk tanks to drop the burning hulks into.
