No proof what caused it, so no point in getting upset.
The fire brigade chief has been quoted as saying it was a diesel fire, my upset is them making uninformed statements.
Well, the diesel probably did catch fire at some point!
I'm surprised the Fire Brigade Chief is making statements like that if he's not referencing the report of the forensic fire people (who may well still be investigating).
Didn't a whole shipload of battery cars go up in smoke recently? Was it Boeing that had a few issues too. Oh, and try posting something with Li-ion batteries in.
When we were doing even the early stuff with smart meters we had to get them from the factory in Slovenia to the UK on land/water as you couldn't air freight them because of the batteries and that was a good few years ago.
An acquaintance was a partner in a business that designed and made battery packs on wheels for car showrooms etc (something about displaying cars with lights on and power to displays etc rather than running them on internal batteries). The company doesn’t/ exist any more but I don't know if that's to do with the BMW dealership that was razed to the ground when one of their units got 'a bit frisky'. Oops.
