LOL. But then there was this bit of information:
The fire was labeled as minor
I mean, I don’t live anywhere near an industrial zone or any sort of urban or suburban area... but still. 110 firefighters?! I don’t think you’d see 110 firefighters if our local elementary school caught fire, with children inside.

I don’t think people appreciate how explosive a cell phone battery is.
In fact, the idea of a Formula E battery pack exploding scares the shit out of me.

This is why there are dozens of safeties in a multicell pack to prevent them from getting to the point of failure.

People seem to forget that batteries store energy and releasing that energy quickly tends to be bad
