Nice to see an ICE car fire getting some media attention for a change (www.bbc.co.uk)

It often feels like EV fires make major headlines while ICE vehicle fires go under reported despite being order of magnitude more likely and common. Nice to see an ICE vehicle fire actually making media headlines for a change.

A fuel tank often does burst into flames if it is torn open and sprays fuel into the air or on the ground, though. Watch enough NASCAR and you’ll see it for yourself.
