I've had a Lithium Powered Golf cart for 4 years now. Leave it plugged-in every time it's parked in my garage as recommended by Club Car. Never had a problem. Let's not disparage all Lithium Powered Golf Carts because of this fire. Let's ID the problem, Manufacturer? After-Market Battery? DIY Conversion to Lithium?

The fake part is you Dr stating it was a lithium cart fire. Where is your proof?

Why is proof needed? Here is the incident number to use at your leisure. You aren’t logical in approach. SCSO24CAD034602

Proof is needed because without it I can write that I heard there were fire engines in Citrus Grove on 3/31. The report was of a lithium car fire but it turned out to be something else. There was a lot of smoke damage to the SUV and golf cart that were in the garage and the garage door was cut out to access the fire but no one was injured.

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA IF THE ABOVE IS TRUE. But without proof, I have absolutely no idea if it is false either.

How do you access that? It appears it was a muttered response? Lady Lake, Sumter and Lake County Border, both counties responded? Located in Wildwood? Too many questions.

I do not know how to access that but I do know:
- it is a Sumter County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) number
- The sequence number is correct for an incident on 3/31
- This particular number does not appear on the only page I found that lists SCSO numbers
- Even the page I found gives no details beyond date and time
