You might want to look into the recent parking garage fire at the airport in the UK. Likely started in a diesel vehicle. Reports are the entire structure will need to be demolished and rebuilt. Seems somewhat catastrophic.

Some will be waiting for that catastrophic EV fire to say, "I told you so." Others will feel that the millions(?) of vehicles on the road that have never caused any damage, catastrophic or otherwise, are evidence that the technology is safe.
