I am not denying it is possible that a golf cart could cause a fire. Poor maintenance (water in batteries, corroded connections, etc.) can lead to some dangerous situations, but I still have seen no conclusive evidence that has occurred here.

Some will keep posting that it happened, which feeds the fire. Without knowing facts it is just as silly for me to post some thing like: I think the fires were caused by the fact that Gary Morse is so cheap that he cuts corners on wiring and contractors. Pretty silly to say such a thing without any facts...

If you take nothing else from the electric golf cart fire rumors, keep up with maintenance or find someone to help you.
I always kept my riding lawn mower in the garage and many of my neighbors did the same. Not once did I hear of a lawn tractor causing a fire.
