I guess next time save the water just let em burn.
So much for putting these things in cities, they will need to be treated like coal fired power plants and put in minimum population areas.

This Lubrizol plant was right in the city. Burned for more than a week and they are still trying to contain the environmental damage

"More than 160 fire departments, with more than 350 firefighters, helped extinguish the fire, according to Rockton Fire Chief Kirk Wilson."

On the other hand the Tesla battery fire was contained to one module and the rest of the facility continues working. Seem like their design worked.


Funny that we are so used to gasoline cars catching on fire that it isn't even news but when a EV catches fire the makes national headlines.
