And an interesting article from CBS news Lithium-ion battery fires from electric cars, bikes and scooters are on the rise. Are firefighters ready? - CBS News
The person who wrote that article, should be embarrassed to have their name attached to it.

"Battery fires are on the rise"? Gee, I wonder how many "battery fires" they had in the 1800's? EVERY kind of "fire" damage has risen, every year since fire was discovered.

"San Francisco and NY combined, had 20 deaths and 300 injuries from "battery fires" since 2019?" In the last 3 years, more people have probably died from eating tainted lettuce or choking on a hot dog.

I hope all the crazies that rant about "Lithium Battery fires", aren't holding iPhones next to their head. If the fire doesn't get you, the gamma rays will.
