Insurance companies just need to say your insurance excludes car parks w/o maintained sprinklers - need to tag the bad ones in waze
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF FIRE SPREADIN CAR PARKS BY BRE GLOBAL:A test rig was constructed, measuring 6m x 12m, with space forfour cars but leaving one vacant parking space. The structure wasenclosed at high level but with low level ventilation.In test number one, without sprinklers and with small tomedium sized family cars, fire spread from the car of origin (car1) to involve all three vehicles. It took twenty minutes to involvecar 2; however, only twenty-one minutes from ignition to involvecar 3 when the test was terminated to avoid serious damage tomonitoring equipment! Nevertheless, with the data gatheredrevealing a ‘peak heat release rate’ of 16 megawatts, this testclearly revealed the ability of this type of fire to spread to othervehicles and severely damage buildings.Similarly in test number 3, but this time using medium tolarge vehicles, the fire spread to all three cars taking just nineminutes to involve car 2 and a further 1 minute to involve car3. Once again, because of the rapid fire spread, the test wasterminated early thus avoiding costly damage to the calorimeter.TEST WITH SPRINKLERSHowever, in test number two, again with a similar arrangementto tests number one and three, the opportunity was taken toinstall a sprinkler system and observe the results; thereforethe rig was provided with a sprinkler system, designed asclosely as possible to replicate a typical underground car parksprinkler system, to BSEN 12845:2004 ‘Ordinary Hazard 2’. Afterignition, the first sprinkler head operated after four minutesand subsequently all heads within the rig operated; but in thiscase, the fire did not spread to either car 2 or car 3. The test wasterminated after one hour with the fire dying down.

Interesting part of this video. Two large fleet managers (around 200,000 Ev and PHEV) tell you how many fires they have had in their fleets.
I am not going to say the answer, if your interested in the truth you can find it in here.
If your into anti EV FUD you probably don't want to find it.

I can't believe you're going to believe some CRANK YouTube video over the trusted and reliable BBC. That's how you end believing that birds aren't real!
Not clicking with that clickbait headline!

How come everything on YouTube is shocking?

Its taking the pee with the title.
Same reason every Express article about winter or summer tries to make it seem like everyone is gonna die.
The title is a play on words and intended to be ‘humourious’ but the video is dealt serious.
It’s made by an ex-BBC top gear presenter and car industry expert Quentin Wilson, a representative of the National Grid, and fearing a few fleet manangers from the biggest fleet companies in the U.K. and the star of the show, Robert Llewelyn, probably the most highly regarded EV and clean energy communicators in the U.K.
The channel rarely, if ever has any adverts and is mostly funded by its viewers via patreon. They make the odd mistake but generally, they do very good work.
Their podcast is well worth a subscription.

They might argue that if the fire extinguishers worked the fire would have been put out.
It's going to be a tricky one because the cost will be so high that it's worth fighting over liability. The airport insurers will be looking at the car insurer. The car owners insurance will have an upper limit. Even if it's quite high I doubt it would cover the entire cost. The car owner could be liable for the shortfall but there is no way they would have the money. Everyone will be looking at Land Rover which seem to love catching fire recently. It's going to be a bun fight.
There are a few people on youtube pointing to the model of car, along with the type of fire and smoke being seen, and the location and direction of flames, as possible evidence the car may have been a hybrid rather than a pure diesel.

I hadn't realised the reg was out there. The videos I've seen are too poor to see the reg.

So this was why 2 flights from Rome to the UK were cancelled yesterday, nobody at the airport, nor the flight attendant when I got on, knew the cause.

Am I wrong to think that guy is Chris Wilsons long lost Aussie cousin
The only ones I've seen have been from the rear. Got a link handy?
