A gasoline fire *IS* a chemical fire.
A lithium battery fire would be a flammable metals fire.
It would be interesting to see statistics showing the frequency of fires for gas and electric vehicles: how many engine fires for every 100,000 gasoline engines and how many battery fires for every 100,000 EVs? Does something like that exist?
It would also be interesting to see how that number changes over time. Gasoline engines became safer over time and EVs are relatively new. Are they dangerous now but not as dangerous as three years ago or are they generally safe now and getting safer every year?
