Two Firefighters killed by an EV fire in Spain.

[mattylad]

A sad loss to the Spanish firefighting service because of EV's.

 

[securespark]

How many firefighters have been killed in other fires?

 

[JohnD]

Many, many more. But matty wants to create an atmosphere of fear because he prefers diesel and petrol cars.

Dunno ?

A good few I suppose but it’s
Hardly the point imo

I’ve been considering solar with battery for quite a while, but the increased risk of fire puts me off.

I’m wondering about building a small outhouse for the batteries and inverters, I’d be interested to know if this would be compliant with the rules, don’t see why not

Just build a small garage, and stick a Leaf in it.

What is the point?

 

[securespark]

If the point is that firefighters died, that is tragic. As is every death in service.

So why mention the cause of the fire?

 

[Tigercubrider]

Firefighters get killed after fuel spills or refinery fires.
Deepwater Horizon anyone?

What is the point?

Two fire fighters got killed tackling an EV car fire

Why not mention the cause of the fire ?????

C'mon.

Let's ask mattylad. You seem to be sticking up for him, but you can't answer for him.

He wrote. "A sad loss...because of EVs"

Do you think he'd have written "A sad loss...because of ICEs" if it was an ICE car?

Over to you, matty.

tackling an EV car fire

..tackling multiple car fires.

 

[IT Minion]

EV batteries do burn badly and have nasty fumes. It would be good to see the final report, or even a fuller interim report incase it's another example of an 'EV' fire caused by an ICE vehicle.

Not sticking up for any one
Fact is two firemen lost there lives due to a fire with EVs
It’s been reported in here that
People have lost there lives after being attacked by dogs

Bully XL dogs or pit bull dogs ?? Or should one not mention the breed ?? Because the attacks are only a small proportion of all dog attacks ?

Fact Is they are generally more violent may be ?

Same as a car fire incident which is worse or harder to deal with on an EV car ????
