Lithium burns so hot and bright they use it to make flares.

Once they get going, lithium fires can be almost impossible to put out.

Witness the spate of car carrier fires that tend to burn themselves out when firefighting efforts fail.

When hurricanes struck Florida, homeowners evacuated to safety in their long-range, fast-fill-up, internal combustion cars, abandoning their EVs in their garages. When tidal surge submerged the EVs’ electrical systems, they went up uncontrollably and took the house with them.
