Well cars catch fire for all sorts of reasons… Leaking hot oil from a turbo can catch fire too…
I think the reason why the fire got so big with the tesla was that once the fire started, people didn’t really know how to put it out or didn’t do it quickly enough. And then what happened was the Li-Ion batteries underwent thermal runaway in other cells ended up catching fire..That seems to explain what the fire crew was saying about how they extinguished a fire only to have it come right back…
FAA put a video about risks of Li-Ion laptop batteries on a plane and how to deal with them..
The irony is li-ion is what goes into boeing’s dreamliner too i think.
