Was questioned about this ship fire yesterday. Debbie guessed right --EVs likely aboard and providing fuel (or perhaps started the fire).

As I mentioned in another thread, this is why I did not want the Tesla Powerwall in/on my house. This was my biggest fear and why I went with lithium ferro-phosphate. It is a lithium ion battery, but a different chemistry than the lithium cobalt in EVs, laptops and Powerwalls and much less prone to catching fire. I'm sure given the wrong circumstances it can catch fire, but that's true of all manner of things like heaters and water heaters and toasters and such
