In the last five years, the Hawaiian emergency alarm system mistakenly went off two different times, causing panic among residents. This week, the system fell short yet again but in a profound way — there was never a warning to the community about the latest wildfires set ablaze on the island of Maui. zp> Most survivors had little warning of the gaining fire until they smelled smoke or saw flames, reported The Associated Press.

At this point, I guess it would be near impossible to find out what started the fire, but IF it would be determined that it was started by an EV battery, that should be a HUGE lesson learned.
